For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the lamb for at least 30 minutes before forming the patties. A simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch more oregano works wonders. Don't skip squeezing the cucumber dry! This is crucial to prevent a watery sauce. If you don't have a grill, you can pan-fry the burgers in a skillet over medium-high heat. They'll still be delicious! Feel free to customize the toppings. Kalamata olives, bell peppers, or a sprinkle of crumbled feta on top of the burger would all be fantastic additions.
