Ingredients
  • 2lbs. ground lamb
  • 1bunch fresh mint1/2 cup chopped
  • 3cloves garlicchopped
  • 2tsp. cumin
  • 2tsp. oregano
  • 1tsp. salt
  • 1tsp. black pepper
  • 6 buns
  • 1large red onion
  • 1lb. mushroomsbutton or baby portabella
  • 2-3 jalapeno peppers
  • 1cup feta cheesecrumbled
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, mix the lamb with the chopped fresh mint, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper.
  2. Form into 6 equal patties about an inch thick.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the lamb burgers. (You may only be able to fit 4 at once and have to cook them in 2 batches.) Cook until they are cooked about 75% of the way and then flip over.
  4. While the lamb burgers are cooking, slice the red onion into thick rings (about 1/2″). Slice the mushrooms and jalapeños. Slice the buns if they aren’t pre-sliced.
  5. When the burgers are cooked (I like them a little pink in the middle) remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate tented with foil so they stay warm. Add the onion slices and mushrooms to the pan and cook for a few minutes until tender, flipping the onions over halfway. Remove the onions and mushrooms and add the buns, cut side down. Brown the buns, 2-3 minutes.
  6. Assemble the burgers topping with sliced onions, sautéed mushrooms, sliced jalapeños, and crumbled feta cheese. Enjoy!
