Grate the cucumber and squeeze the juice.
Make tzatziki sauce with strained yogurt, cucumber, garlic and lemon juice.
Briefly knead the lamb mince, thyme, cumin, salt and pepper.
Divide the mixture into 4 meatballs and let them rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Cook the lamb meatballs in a hot pan for 4 minutes on each side.
Fry the burger buns, slice the purple onion thinly.
Put tzatziki, meatballs, roasted peppers and purple onions on the bread and serve.
💡 Tip: Letting the lamb meatballs rest for 3 minutes after cooking reduces the wetting of the meat juice on the bread.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with roasted peppers, purple onions and lemon potatoes.
