Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 400 grams
• Fresh mint leaves - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lettuce leaves - 4, for serving
• Tomato - 1 large, sliced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped mint, minced garlic, red onion, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape them into patties about 2.5 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
