Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Pistachios (shelled) - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced

2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, in a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice to create a tangy sauce.
