Mediterranean Lamb Kofta Burgers with Whipped Feta

These juicy lamb burgers are infused with aromatic spices like cumin and coriander, bringing the classic flavors of kofta to a bun. Paired with a creamy whipped feta sauce and crisp veggies, they make for a sophisticated yet simple weeknight meal.

Ingredients

1 lb ground lamb
1/4 cup yellow onion, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
4 oz feta cheese block
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
4 brioche burger buns
Salt and black pepper to taste
Sliced cucumber and tomato for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

  2. 2

    Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender.

  3. 3

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape them into patties slightly larger than your buns, pressing a small indentation into the center of each to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

  4. 4

    In a separate small bowl, mash the feta cheese and Greek yogurt together with a fork until you achieve a creamy, spreadable consistency.

  5. 5

    Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface.

  6. 6

    Cook the lamb patties for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and develop a nice crust.

  7. 7

    While the patties rest for a few minutes, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in the pan.

  8. 8

    To assemble, spread a generous layer of the whipped feta mixture on the bottom half of each bun.

  9. 9

    Place the cooked lamb patty on top of the cheese, then add slices of cucumber and tomato before closing with the top bun.
