Ingredients

• Ground beef (halal) - 300 grams
• Harissa paste - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato (sliced) - 1 medium

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, harissa paste, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
