- 2 Tbs. minced red onion
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. salt

Prepare broiler or grill pan. In a medium bowl, combine the cilantro, feta, onion, cumin, salt, red pepper, black pepper and lamb. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 3/4-in. thick patty. Spray a grill pan or broiler pan with nonstick spray. Place patties on pan and cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Line bottom half of buns with lettuce leaves. Top each with 1 tomato slice, 1 burger and top half of bun. Serves 4.
