Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

750 g lamb mince
100 g feta cheese (crumbled)
4 tablespoons mint (chopped finely)
2 cloves garlic ( grated or crushed)
1 small onion ( finely grated)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Tzatziki
Burger buns
Rocket or other salad leaves

Steps:

Place all the burger ingredients in a large bowl and mix together with your hands until thoroughly combined. Really give it a good squishing!
Divide the mixture into 6 and roll each portion into a large ball then squash to make a burger patty.
Press a small dent in the centre of each burger to help stop the burger from rising up too much in the middle.
Preheat your grill (broiler) to medium high or prepare your BBQ.
Cook the burgers for 5 minutes on each side or until done to your liking.
Serve in burger buns on with a good dollop of tzatziki and a scattering of salad leaves on top. If you like, serve these burgers with homemade potato wedges, Greek salad and more tzatziki on the side.

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 43m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 pound feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 to 6 rolls or buns
Easy Tzatziki, recipe follows
1 cup Greek whole milk yogurt
1 English cucumber, seeded, finely grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, feta, allspice, parsley, salt and pepper, making sure not to overwork the mixture. Form the lamb mixture into 4 to 6 patties.
Heat a grill pan over moderately-high heat and cook the lamb burgers until a nice crust forms, about 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and let cook another 4 minutes. Let the burgers rest 10 minutes. Serve topped with Easy Tzatziki on a roll or bun.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Chill.
What Really Makes This Recipe Sing: Allspice is one of those secret weapons in savory foods. You can't put your finger on it, but you know it is there. It was named by the English, because they thought it contained cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Shh, it is also the secret ingredient in Cincinnati-style chili.
What to toss in if you have it: Feel free to add some chopped fresh mint to this as well. Having a cocktail party? BYOC and makes these into mini's. Grab one before you serve because they will disappear fast.
