Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 4 burger buns
- Lettuce and tomato for serving
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and arrange them in your workspace to ensure everything is ready for mixing.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, gently combine ground lamb, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, egg, and breadcrumbs until the mixture is evenly blended but not overworked.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty approximately 1 inch thick.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat to ensure proper searing of the patties.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for safe consumption.
- Assemble Burgers: Place the cooked patties on the burger buns and top with fresh lettuce and tomato slices. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Ensure the patties are not too thick to allow even cooking through to the center.
- You can substitute plain breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
- For a smoky flavor, prefer grilling over skillet cooking.
- Optional: Add sliced onions or your favorite condiments to customize the burger.
