Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 grams of ground lamb with 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
Step 2
Finely chop half of a medium red onion and add it to the lamb mixture. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 3
Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and add to the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Step 4
Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, making a slight indentation in the middle of each patty for even cooking.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, slice the large tomato into four equal slices and prepare the brioche buns by slicing them open and lightly toasting the cut sides in a separate pan or toaster.
Step 7
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 a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful lamb burgers!
