Ingredients
- For the patties:
- 1 lb ground lamb

- Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined—overmixing creates tough burgers.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a 3/4-inch thick patty, pressing a slight dimple in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

- Cook for 5-6 minutes until the bottoms develop deep grill marks and release easily.
- Flip the patties using a spatula.
- Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F on a meat thermometer.

- Top each with 1/4 cup arugula, 1 tbsp sliced red onion, and 1 tbsp sliced cucumber.
