Ingredients

  • 500 grams ground lamb
  • 120 grams plain full-fat yogurt
  • 1 medium-sized, finely chopped onion
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 50 grams breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, yogurt, chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.

Step 2

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 3

Crack the egg into the mixture and add the breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together and can hold its shape.

Step 4

Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 8-10 patties depending on size.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil if frying. Alternatively, you can grill the patties on a barbecue or grill pan.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have a nice golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the lamb and yogurt patties with your choice of accompaniments, such as a fresh salad, pita bread, or rice.
