Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Onion - 1 small, finely grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Divide the meat mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each into a patty that fits the burger bun.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil.
4. Cook the patties on the grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the grilled köfte patty, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions.
7. Add chili sauce if desired, then place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
