Description

These Lamb Feta Burgers combine juicy ground lamb with tangy feta cheese and fresh herbs for a flavorful twist on classic burgers. Perfectly grilled and served with crisp lettuce and tomato, they make a delicious and satisfying meal in under 30 minutes.


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

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and arrange them in your workspace to ensure everything is ready for mixing.
  2. 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.
  3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty approximately 1 inch thick.
  4. Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat to ensure proper searing of the patties.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
