Soak the stale roll in lukewarm water, squeeze out excess liquid and mix with ground lamb, egg, minced garlic and thyme. If needed add breadcrumbs until the mixture is firm enough to shape. Season with salt and pepper. Form four patties and fry in hot oil for about 2–3 minutes per side. Peel the onion and slice into strips; add to the pan with the burgers and brown.
