The Method

1
In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, ginger, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
2
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
3
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil.
4
Grill the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
5
While the burgers are grilling, prepare the mint yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped mint, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
6
Toast the burger buns.
7
Assemble the burgers: Place a grilled lamb patty on each toasted bun. Top with a generous dollop of mint yogurt sauce. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of harissa paste to the lamb mixture.

If you don't have a grill, you can pan-fry the burgers in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Serve with a side of couscous salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Let the lamb mixture rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before forming the patties for better flavor integration.
