Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 300 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

2. Shape the mixture into 2 burger patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F).
