Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, feta, allspice, parsley, salt and pepper, making sure not to overwork the mixture. Form the lamb mixture into 4 to 6 patties.
- Heat a grill pan over moderately-high heat and cook the lamb burgers until a nice crust forms, about 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and let cook another 4 minutes. Let the burgers rest 10 minutes. Serve topped with Easy Tzatziki on a roll or bun.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Chill.
- What Really Makes This Recipe Sing: Allspice is one of those secret weapons in savory foods. You can't put your finger on it, but you know it is there. It was named by the English, because they thought it contained cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Shh, it is also the secret ingredient in Cincinnati-style chili.
- What to toss in if you have it: Feel free to add some chopped fresh mint to this as well. Having a cocktail party? BYOC and makes these into mini's. Grab one before you serve because they will disappear fast.

FETA AND MINT LAMB BURGERS (PAN FRY OR BBQ)
Evelyn I hope that you like this recipe. I created it and I am dedicating it to Evelyn/Athens as a thank-you for your efforts in RSC7. The recipe suggests 6 oz burgers but make them smaller if you wish. You may either pan fry or BBQ the patties. The Feta needs to be pan fried along with the mushrooms. Butter your buns if you wish.

Tips:
- To ensure the lamb burgers are cooked evenly throughout, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 160°F (70°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the burgers for about 8-10 minutes per side over medium heat, or until the juices run clear and there is no pink in the center.
- To make the burgers more flavorful, use a variety of herbs and spices in the lamb mixture. Some popular choices include mint, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
- If you don't have fresh mint on hand, you can use dried mint instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- The burgers can be served on their own, but they are also delicious when paired with hummus, tzatziki sauce, or pita bread.
Conclusion:
These minted lamb burgers with feta and hummus are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The lamb burgers are juicy and flavorful, and the feta and hummus add a creamy and tangy flavor. Serve the burgers on their own or with your favorite sides, such as pita bread, fries, or salad.
