Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 burger buns

Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, red onion, garlic, parsley, mint leaves, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Make sure the patties are slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink during cooking.
- Place the lamb patties on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, cook for 4 minutes per side. For medium, cook for 5 minutes per side.
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, or until they are slightly crispy.
- Remove the lamb patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Assemble the grilled lamb burgers by placing a patty on each toasted bun. Add your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, feta cheese, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
- Serve the burgers immediately and enjoy!
