Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, cumin, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped fresh mint. Gently mix the ingredients together, being careful not to overwork the mixture as it may result in tough burgers. |
| 2 | Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. With your hands, shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are of uniform thickness for even cooking. Make a small dent in the top of each burger to prevent them from puffing up during cooking. |
| 3 | Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties to the pan. Cook for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the burgers are cooked to your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. |
| 4 | Assemble the Burgers: While the patties are cooking, prepare your burger toppings. Wash and dry lettuce leaves, slice tomatoes, and toast burger buns if desired. Optionally, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun for added flavor and moisture. |
| 5 | Serve: Once the lamb burgers are cooked through, transfer them to a plate. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and tomato slice on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lamb patty. Top with additional mint leaves for garnish, if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful Feta Mint Lamb Cheeseburgers! 🍔 |
