Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 teaspoons curry powder
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
8 slices country bread (each 1/2 inch thick), toasted, if desired
1 Kirby cucumber, cut lengthwise into ribbons with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine lamb, curry powder, and 2 sliced scallions; season generously with salt and pepper. Mix gently with a fork (do not overmix); form into 4 oval patties to fit on bread (each 1 inch thick).
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season patties with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side (reduce heat if browning too quickly).
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix feta, yogurt, and remaining scallion, mashing cheese gently to combine; season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread 4 slices of bread with feta mixture; top with cucumbers, lamb patties, and remaining bread.
