Ingredients

• 500 grams ground lamb
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, chopped red onion, parsley, mint, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with olive oil.

Step 5

Place the patties onto the hot skillet or grill pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F) for medium doneness.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate dry skillet or on the grill until golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each hamburger bun, followed by a lamb patty, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.

Step 8

Top each burger with the remaining half of the bun, and serve immediately.
