Ingredients

• Ground beef or lamb - 400 grams
• Onion, finely grated - 1 small (about 50 grams)
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Parsley, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Cilantro, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Allspice powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Tomato, sliced - 1 medium
• Cucumber, sliced - 1 small

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, allspice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed, and lightly sauté the sliced cucumber and tomato until just warmed, about 1-2 minutes.
5. To assemble, place each kafta burger patty on a large lettuce leaf, top with sautéed vegetables, and wrap the lettuce around the burger. Serve immediately.
