Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 400 grams
• Garlic cloves - 2, minced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the lamb mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the lamb patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach a desired doneness.
