Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 12 small patties, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside and keep warm.
Meanwhile, place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed.
Fluff the couscous with a fork, then stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and mint. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the couscous salad to a serving plate and top with crumbled feta cheese.
Serve the spiced mini burgers alongside the couscous salad and enjoy!
