Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 1 small red onion
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 4 tablespoons tzatziki sauce
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the garlic, parsley, and mint. Dice the red onion into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, parsley, mint, diced onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated, but avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Step 4
Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the patties with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F). Adjust cooking time depending on desired doneness.
Step 6
Slice the tomato into thin rounds, and prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Step 7
Assemble each burger: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a lamb patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Cover with the top bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Herby Sheep Burgers with a side of fries or a fresh salad!
