Description

These grilled lamb patties are a simple yet deeply flavorful take on classic Greek-style meat dishes. Ground lamb is seasoned with a robust blend of cumin, garlic, and onion powder, creating a savory, aromatic profile that pairs perfectly with the char of the grill. The meat stays tender and juicy inside while developing a delicious crust. Served with a refreshing, cool yogurt cucumber sauce, this dish offers a perfect balance of warm spices and creamy freshness. It is an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a light summer barbecue. The combination of rich lamb and tangy sauce makes every bite satisfying and memorable.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground lamb, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, pepper, and salt.
  2. Mix gently with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Preheat a grill to medium heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. While the lamb cooks, prepare the sauce by combining plain yogurt, minced cucumber, green onions, sugar, and garlic salt in a small bowl.
  7. Chill the yogurt sauce in the refrigerator until serving time to enhance the flavors.
  8. Serve the grilled lamb patties on pita bread or buns, topped with a generous spoonful of the cold yogurt cucumber sauce.
