Start by preparing the ingredients: finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the lamb mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Press lightly to ensure they hold their shape.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the lamb patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb patties with a side of fresh greens or Whole30 compliant toppings of your choice.
