Start by preparing the ingredients for the lamb burgers.

Measure 1 kg of lamb mince and place it in a large bowl.

Crumble 100 g of feta cheese into the lamb mince.

Chop 15-20 black olives and add them to the bowl, ensuring there are no pits.

Crush 3 cloves of garlic and add them to the mixture.

Peel and finely chop 1 red onion, then add it to the bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of tomato puree to the mixture.

Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin.

Season the mixture with a pinch of salt.

Add 1 beaten egg and 50-60 g of breadcrumbs to the bowl.

Mix all the ingredients together using your hands until well combined.

Shape the mixture into burger patties, flattening them to about 2 cm thick.

Place the patties on parchment paper that has been oiled to prevent sticking.

Cover the patties with cellophane and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or longer if desired.

Prepare the mint sauce by mixing 150 ml of natural Greek yogurt with 1/3 cucumber (scooped of seeds), 1 crushed clove of garlic, and chopped fresh mint.

Season the mint sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well.

Refrigerate the mint sauce until ready to serve.

Heat a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Oil both sides of the burger patties before cooking.

Cook the patties in the heated pan, ensuring they get a nice color on the outside.
