Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 300 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh mint - 2 tablespoons, chopped

2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
