Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Preserved lemon - 1 whole, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large (for wrapping)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped preserved lemon, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium 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. While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings by slicing the cucumber and red onion.
5. Once the patties are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
6. To assemble, place each beef patty on a large lettuce leaf, top with sliced cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
7. Wrap the lettuce around the filling to create a burger and serve immediately.
