Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground lamb
1/4 cup finely minced cilantro
3 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon Thai red chile sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried crumbled oregano
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Sauteed peppers and onions as desired

Steps:

Combine lamb, cilantro, mint, onion, chile sauce, cumin and oregano in a bowl. Form meat into 8 thin patties, about 3/8 -inch thick. Place an equal amount of feta cheese on half of the patties. Cover the stuffing with the remaining patties. Seal the edges by pressing them together with your fingers. Refrigerate. Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill the patties uncovered for about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes per side for charcoal grills, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 160 F. (For gas grills, cook covered for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes per side). Serve on buns topped with sautéed peppers and onions
