1.5 lbs fresh ground lamb
1/4 cup mint leaves (about 15 leaves)
3/4 cup parsley, chopped
5 cloves garlic
2 serrano peppers
1 tbsp oregano, fresh
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tbsp cumin powder
1.5 tsp salt
1/2 Lemon, squeezed
Burger Buns
Sliced Onions & Tomatoes for garnish
2-3 tbsp oil
Feta Tzatziki: In a bowl, combine the following -
2 cucumbers, finely diced
1/4 cup dill, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced finely
1 tsp mint leaves, finely chopped
1 cup yogurt, full fat (whole milk yogurt)
1/4 cup feta, crumbled
Salt to taste

In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, mint, garlic, serrano peppers, and oregano. Blend until well mixed. Add blended herbs, coriander, cumin, salt and lemon juice to the ground lamb and mix gently using your hand. Heat a grill pan or skillet on medium high heat and add 1-2 tbsp oil. Form lamb mixture into patties and grill or cook on a skillet for 6-8 minutes on each side for fully cooked burger. (cook less if you prefer medium/medium well). Place patty on a grilled bun, top with tzatziki sauce, sliced onions, tomatoes and serve hot!
