Add the lamb and mix well (use your hands for easy mixing).
Form 3 or 4 patties.
Either BBQ or pan fry. Internal temperature should read 160\u00b0F.
If pan frying brown one side of the patties over high heat, flip, cover with a lid, lower heat to medium and cook the other side,.
If you are serving mushrooms add them to the pan when you flip the burger and cover the pan - they will be beautifully browned.
Top the burger with yogurt and any condiments you like--tomatoes, pickles, pickled peppers, eggplant, hummus--your choice.
