How to make Lamb Burgers
- Step 1
Heat olive oil in a skillet and add the chopped onions. Cook until caramelized, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 2
In the same skillet, cook the shallots over low heat until they become translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb meat with the chopped shallots, mint, and parsley.
- Step 4
Season with a pinch of salt and mix thoroughly to activate the collagen in the meat, which helps the burgers hold together during cooking.
- Step 5
Take portions of the mixture and shape them into burger patties, ensuring each patty is slightly larger than the size of the hamburger bun.
- Step 6
Place the patties on a clean tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Step 7
Remove the patties from the refrigerator and cook them on a preheated grill or griddle lightly brushed with olive oil.
- Step 8
Cook until the meat is fully cooked and slightly browned.

Tips & Tricks
Refrigerating the patties helps them firm up and hold their shape during cooking.
Make sure the grill or griddle is preheated to ensure even cooking and a nice sear on the patties.
Use fresh spinach leaves for added texture and flavor in the burger.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste, but avoid over-salting as lamb has a naturally rich flavor.
