- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing to prevent tough burgers.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, place the burger patties into the pan or grill. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a separate pan or grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked lamb patties onto the bottom buns. Add optional toppings like tzatziki sauce, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves. Cover with the top buns.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Lamb Feta Burgers!
