Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 300 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 2cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped mint in a small bowl. Set aside.
5. Toast the burger buns lightly on a grill or in the oven until golden.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a patty, slices of tomato, cucumber, and a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
