Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin

- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Optional: red onion rings, lettuce, kalamata olives
Instructions
- Mix the Patty: In a bowl, combine ground lamb, garlic, chopped onion, parsley, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties.
- Grill: Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers for 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
