Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh mint
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 8 leaves large lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced ripe avocado
• 1 sliced tomato
• 0.5 small, sliced red onion

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped mint, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can lead to tougher burgers.

Step 3

Divide the lamb mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties to the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

While the lamb patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves, avocado slices, tomato slices, and red onion slices.

Step 7

Once the lamb patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, place a lamb patty on a large lettuce leaf, top with a few slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.

Step 9

Top with another lettuce leaf, if desired, and repeat with the remaining patties.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Paleo-friendly lamb burgers.
