Cooking Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with mint, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
4. Preheat a grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
5. Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the patties.
6. Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
7. Toast the whole grain buns on the grill for about a minute until they’re slightly crispy.
8. Place the cooked lamb patties on the buns, add your choice of toppings, and they’re ready to be served!

Tips

1. For added juiciness, avoid pressing the patties while cooking.
2. Feel free to get creative with toppings! Think feta cheese, tzatziki sauce, or roasted red peppers.
3. Ensure the lamb meat is fresh. Fresh lamb has a soft pink-red color, avoid anything that looks grey.
4. You can add finely chopped onions to the mix for an extra layer of flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• Lamb burgers pair wonderfully with a fresh side salad or some crispy baked sweet potato fries.
• Consider adding a tangy yogurt sauce or aioli as a dipping companion or a spread for the buns.
• Serve with chilled lemonade or iced tea for a refreshing complement to the rich flavors.
