Ingredients

For The Greek-Style Patties:

• 2 pounds ground lamb
• 1 small red onion, grated 🧅
• 2 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley 🌿
• 10 mint leaves, chopped 🌱
• 2 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil

To Serve:

• Burger buns or pita bread 🍞
• Tzatziki sauce 🥒
• Sliced tomatoes 🍅
• Sliced green bell pepper 🫑
• Sliced cucumbers 🥒
• Sliced red onions 🧅
• Pitted Kalamata olives, sliced 🫒
• Crumbled feta 🧀

Instructions

1. Make the Lamb Burger Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, and optional cayenne pepper. Season with a good pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and mix until everything is well combined. 🥣

2. Make the Lamb Patties

Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Using both hands, form the meat into smooth spheres, then lightly press to shape into patties. Arrange the patties on a large tray or dish, and with the tip of your thumb, press lightly to form a shallow, wide depression in the center of each patty (this will keep the patty flat as it cooks). Cover and refrigerate while you heat your grill. 🍽️

3. Get Ready to Grill

Preheat an outdoor gas grill or an indoor griddle to medium. Prepare all your fixings. 🔥

4. Grill the Lamb Burgers

When the grill/griddle is hot, lightly oil it and place the lamb patties on top. Cover and grill over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. The internal temperature for a medium burger should register 160°F – adjust cooking time according to your desired doneness. 🌡️

5. Rest and Serve

Allow the lamb burgers to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to stay juicy. Serve in buns or pita pockets with your fixings of choice. 🥙

Enjoy Your Delicious Greek Lamb Burgers! 😋
