Lamb Burgers Recipe
Description
This recipe blends ground lamb with feta cheese and almond flour for moisture and binding, while fresh mint and kalamata olives add aromatic and briny notes. The salt and pepper seasoning is balanced to enhance the natural flavors. Care is taken not to overmix the meat to avoid toughness.
The patties are formed slightly larger than the buns and cooked either on a grill or in a cast iron skillet for just a few minutes per side, targeting a medium level of doneness. Warming the brioche buns briefly adds texture and warmth to the assembled burgers.
For serving, the buns are spread with creamy hummus and tzatziki for contrasting creamy and tangy flavors, topped with tomato, cucumber, and red onion slices for freshness and crunch. The combination yields a flavorful Mediterranean-style burger suitable for casual meals or entertaining.

- 1 lb lamb ground
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup mint chopped, fresh
- ¼ cup kalamata olive chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper sea salt
To serve
- 4 Brioche buns
- hummus for the buns
- tzatziki for the buns
- tomato sliced

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the lamb, feta cheese, almond flour, mint, olives, salt, and pepper. Don't overmix the meat or the burgers can become tough.
- Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and flatten each piece into a circle slightly bigger than your buns.
- To grill: grill the burgers over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes per side until they are as done as you like them. 3 minutes for medium. If you'd like, warm the buns on the BBQ for 1 minute. To pan-fry: cook the burgers in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes per side.
- To assemble the burgers, spread some hummus and tzatziki on a bun then top with a burger patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and red onions.
