Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped mint leaves, minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until they are well combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty about 1.5 cm thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, cook the lamb patties for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a golden-brown crust.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a dry skillet or under a broiler for a minute or two until they are warm and slightly crisp.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (and mustard if using) on the bottom half of each burger bun.

Step 8

Place a cooked lamb patty on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a lettuce leaf, a slice or two of tomato, and some cucumber slices.

Step 9

Top with the other half of the burger bun to create a sandwich, and serve immediately.
