GREEK BURGER WITH ARUGULA AND FETA



Greek Burger With Arugula and Feta image

This is a delicious and healthy meal in one. Using the pita in the meat makes it so moist! Ground turkey could be used instead of lam, and any kind of lettuce can be substituted for the arugula. This recipe came from Self magazine, and it is one of our favorites!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground meat (your choice: beef, pork, lamb, chicken or turkey)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained and chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 1/2 tablespoons Homemade Greek Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups arugula leaves
1/2 cup Homemade Tzatziki Sauce
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced red onions
Extra crumbled feta cheese
4 hamburger buns (lightly toasted)
homemade hamburger buns ((click link for recipe))

Steps:

  • Combine the meat, red onion, parsley, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, feta cheese, salt and Greek seasoning in a mixing bowl. Work with your fingers until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Form into 4 patties. Grill or pan fry over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or according to desired doneness (is using poultry or pork, make sure it's thoroughly cooked through). If you're cooking them on the stovetop, I like to use the Lodge Cast Iron Grill Pan to get those pretty grill marks.
  • Arrange some arugula leaves on the bottoms of each hamburger bun and place the patties on top. Top with tomatoes, red onions, tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta cheese. Place the top bun on each burger and serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce.

2 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
4 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Drain and squeeze out excess milk. Purée soaked bread, onion, garlic, herbs and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Transfer purée to a bowl. Add lamb, season with salt and pepper and combine. Form into 4 patties. Wrap pitas in foil and heat until warm, about 8 minutes. (Or place pitas between sheets of paper towel and microwave until warm, about 30 seconds.) Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook burgers to medium, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Whisk yogurt, mint, garlic, mustard and honey in a bowl. Stir in cucumber and season with salt and pepper. Open each pita, stuff with arugula and drizzle with some of the dressing. Add burger, tomato and red onion to pita. Sprinkle with feta. Serve leftover dressing on the side.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 red bell pepper
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 sprig fresh mint, chopped
1 sprig fresh parsley, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
8 ounces fresh spinach - rinsed, drained and coarsely chopped
¼ cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped onion
2 sprigs fresh basil, coarsely chopped
3 sprigs fresh mint, coarsely chopped
2 sprigs fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 Kaiser rolls, split and toasted
1 tomato, sliced
4 leaves lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the red bell pepper in half from top to bottom; remove the stem, seeds, and ribs; place pepper cut-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, about 5 minutes. Allow the blackened pepper to cool and steam in a paper bag for 5 minutes; peel and dice; set aside.
  • Stir together the 2 ounces feta cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, the 1 sprig chopped mint, and the 1 sprig chopped parsley in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place the roasted red pepper, ground beef, feta cheese, spinach, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, onion, basil, the remaining mint, and the remaining parsley in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Divide the meat mixture to form 4 equal 4 1/2 inch patties.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve burgers on warm toasted Kaiser roll with the feta cheese spread, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce.
