Ingredients

  • For the Lamb Burgers:
    • 1 lb (450g) ground lamb
    • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)
  • For the Toppings:
    • 1 large avocado, sliced
    • 1 cup arugula or spinach
    • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
    • Slices of tomato (optional)
    • Lettuce leaves (for wrapping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lamb Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, rosemary, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indent in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are nicely browned.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Once cooked, remove the lamb burgers from the grill. Place each patty on a lettuce leaf (if using) and top with avocado slices, arugula, feta cheese, and tomato slices as desired.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the burgers immediately, with any additional toppings you prefer.
