more about:

1 lb. freshly ground lean lamb
3/4 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 Tbs. chopped fresh mint
Generous 1/2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
Oil for the pan

In a mixing bowl, lightly and thoroughly mix the ground lamb, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, mint, and rosemary. Shape into four patties, each 1-1/4 inches thick. Add just enough oil to a large skillet to make a thin film; heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the patties (take care not to crowd the pan) and brown well on both sides, turning occasionally, until browned, cooked through, and springy firm, 12 to 15 minutes total.

Serving Suggestions

Good accompaniments would be rice pilaf and some cucumber yogurt salad.
