Servings: 4
Ingredients
Homemade Patties
- 1 lb ground lamb
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp fresh mint finely chopped
- 2 tsp fresh parsley finely chopped
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Burger Toppings
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
- ½ red onion finely sliced
- 1 cup tzatziki
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 450°F (230°C) and lightly oil the grate
- To a large bowl, add the ground lamb, crumbled feta, garlic, mint, parsley, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to combine.
- Shape the mixture into 4 even patties (you can weigh it if you’d like to be more accurate). Try to make them the same size and thickness so they cook evenly.
- Once the grill’s up to temperature, place the burger patties on and cook for 4 minutes per side so a good outer crust forms and the internal temperature has reached 140°F (60°C). Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Whilst the lamb rests, start to build your burgers. Cut the buns in half and spread each with a good amount of tzatziki and add lettuce and sliced onions. Finish with the rested lamb patties and enjoy.
