Another tasty burger from David 'the the burger master'...this time it's a lamb burger. On checking out a few different recipes for a lamb burger, he's created his own one...and it's delicious. When deciding on the seasonings, I said I'd like to have our favourite greek salad and to have some red onion and feta with the burger too, so he went with seasonings used in greek cooking. He decided against putting onion into the mixture as we were adding it as a topping. This lamb burger recipe is a must try with homemade brioche burger buns too!
Tips
- Additional toppings – with the greek flavourings in the burger, we had salad leaves, slices of red onion, feta cheese and mayonnaise. However, the choice of toppings and sauces are entirely your personal choice…enjoy trying different combinations!
- Assembly – I’ve written this tip as I’ve found on previous occasions when assembling the toppings that they topple over! So, for assembling the burger and toppings in the photo it was:
- mayonnaise and salad leaves on the bottom of the bun
- place the burger on top of the salad leaves
- top the burger with slices of red onion and sliced feta cheese and then put the lid on …and enjoy with sides of your choice!

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the lamb mince, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried mint, dried oregano, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure it’s mixed well so that everything is evenly combined.
- Divide the mixture to form 4 burgers. Place the burgers on a plate and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook them. Remove them from the fridge at least 30 minutes before you’re ready to cook.
- When you’re ready to cook, heat a large frying pan or grill pan (we use our Le Creuset grill pan) over a high heat. If you like your buns toasted, drizzle each half with some olive oil and place face down in the hot pan and let them toast to your liking – make sure they don’t burn. Remove and set aside while you cook the burgers.
- Now to cook the burgers - heat 3 tsp of olive oil in the pan and turn the heat down to medium and cook them for 3.5 minutes on each side.
- Finally, assemble your burger with any additional toppings and/or sauces (see Tips).
- Enjoy with greek salad and chunky oven chips or dirty fries on the side!!
