Ingredients
1 lb ground lamb
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 burger buns
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
Lettuce leaves
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped mint, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
2. Divide the lamb mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and lemon juice to make the yogurt sauce.
5. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
6. Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with a lamb patty, cucumber slices, red onion slices, and lettuce. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
Storage
Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the yogurt sauce separate.
Reheating
Reheat the patties on a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until heated through. Avoid reheating the yogurt sauce.
