Greek Lamb Burgers with Spinach and Red Onion Salad

These Mediterranean-inspired lamb burgers offer a sophisticated twist on a classic, bringing together the vibrant and aromatic flavours of Greek cuisine. The combination of cooling fresh mint, ground cinnamon, and smoky paprika infuses the minced lamb with a rich depth that pairs perfectly with the salty tang of crumbled feta. It is a wonderfully fragrant dish that feels lighter and more refined than a traditional beef burger while remaining deeply satisfying and full of character.

As a high-protein dinner option, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a nutritious yet indulgent meal that is quick to prepare. The addition of a crisp baby spinach and red onion salad provides a fresh, peppery crunch, making it a complete meal in a bun. Serve these at your next weekend gathering or as a simple midweek treat for a true taste of the Aegean at home.
