Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 units hamburger buns
- 4 units lettuce leaves
- 4 units tomato slices
- 0.5 cup feta cheese (optional), crumbled
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, chopped parsley, diced red onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up.
Place the patties on the skillet or grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked lamb patty, a slice of tomato, and crumbled feta cheese (if using). Spread tzatziki sauce on the top half of the bun, if desired, before placing it on top.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, a salad, or roasted vegetables.
