Burgers are a staple for summer, and really all times of the year. However, it can start to get a little boring when it’s the same beef patty over and over again.

1 pound of ground lamb 1 shallot 3 cloves of garlic ½ cup of chopped parsley ½ teaspoon of paprika ½ teaspoon of coriander ½ teaspoon of cumin ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of black pepper Instructions
First, finely mince the garlic or put it through a garlic press. Chop up the shallots so they are finely minced as well. Then, mix everything together in a bowl until well combined. Take a little less than a handful of the meat mixture and form it into a small patty. Heat up a pan on medium-high heat, and add in olive oil. Or, you can cook these on the grill, whatever you prefer. Fry the burgers for 3 minutes on each side and then serve with tahini sauce and your favorite side dishes!
