Ingredients
- For the herb-infused aioli:

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Mediterranean lamb burgers:
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Burger buns
- Toppings: sliced tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese
Preparing the Herb-Infused Aioli
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Making the Mediterranean Lamb Burgers
In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, chopped mint, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Form into four equal patties.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Toast the burger buns during the last minute of cooking.
Assembling the Burgers
Spread a generous layer of herb-infused aioli on the bottom bun. Place the cooked lamb patty on top, then add sliced tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese. Finish with the top bun and serve immediately.
Enjoy Your Meal
This Mediterranean-inspired burger pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade. The herb-infused aioli adds a creamy, flavorful touch that complements the savory lamb and fresh toppings perfectly.
