Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 300 grams
• Ground lamb - 100 grams
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, red onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
