Ingredients
- 500 g ground lamb
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula, ensuring all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the lamb.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty about 2.5 cm thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 71°C (160°F).
Remove the patties from the pan or grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Tangy Lamb Patties with a side of fresh salad, pita bread, or a dollop of tzatziki sauce for a complete meal.
