Ingredients

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

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, and fresh parsley. Mix well until fully combined.
2. Shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties, pressing them firmly to hold their shape.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (internal temperature should be at least 70°C).
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly in another skillet or oven.
5. Once cooked, assemble the burgers by placing a lamb patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumber slices.
6. Add a generous dollop of yogurt on top and cover with the top half of the bun. Serve hot.
