- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh mint (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

- Form the mixture into 4 round patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Cooking

- Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest at room temperature for a few minutes.
Assembly
- To assemble the burgers, spread some mayonnaise on your buns.
- On the bottom bun, place a handful of arugula, followed by the lamb patty.

Notes
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Do not over-mix the meat when combining with other ingredients; it can make the burgers tough. Allow the patties to rest after cooking; this helps keep them juicy and flavorful. You can adjust spices according to your preference.
