Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, crumbled feta, egg, sliced kalamata olives, ground cumin, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick, pressing a shallow dent in the center.

4. Refrigerate the patties for 15 minutes so they hold their shape.

5. Cook the patties 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the thickest part reaches 160°F (71°C).

6. If desired, toast the cut sides of the buns on the grill or in the pan for about 1 minute.

7. Serve each patty on a toasted or plain whole-wheat bun.
