Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomato
• 4 rings sliced red onion
• 4 tablespoons condiments of choice (e.g., tahini sauce, tzatziki, ketchup)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, minced garlic, parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Ensure the patties are slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink when cooked.

Step 3

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to prevent sticking if using a skillet.

Step 4

Cook the lamb patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster for enhanced flavor and texture.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lamb patty. Add a slice of tomato, a ring of red onion, and your preferred condiments.

Step 7

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful lamb burgers with a side of fries, salad, or any accompaniment of your choice!
