Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix ingredients thoroughly using your hands until evenly combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the lamb patties.
Step 4
Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned and have an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F).
Step 5
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the whole-grain burger buns either in a toaster or on another pan.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers by placing a handful of baby spinach on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked lamb patty.
Step 7
Top the burgers with slices of tomato, sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
Step 8
Finish with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce and place the top bun over the assembly.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the Mediterranean flavors in every bite.
