Ingredients

For lamb burger patties

  • pound ground lamb
  • ¼ cup fresh mint chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground corriander
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Toppings

  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • ½ cup tzatziki sauce
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 medium tomatoes sliced
  • ½ English cucumber sliced
  • 1 small red onion sliced

Instructions

  • Prepare your grill for cooking over high direct heat.
  • In a medium bowl combine all the lamb burger patties ingredients together and mix everything together until everything is well incorporated. Divide the meat in 4 and form into burger patties.
  • Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side. DO NOT press on the patties while cooking. 2 Minutes before the patties are done cooking, add the burger buns to the grill and grill them for about 30 seconds.
  • Remove everything from the grill and assemble the burgers. Start with adding some baby arugula to the bottom of the bun, then the burger patty, followed by a couple tbsp of tzatziki sauce, some crumbled feta cheese, tomato slices, cucumber slices and red onion slices. If you prefer you could add more tzatziki sauce to the top bun.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. If you don't like lamb, ground beef will still be great in this recipe.
  2. Tzatziki is a sauce made with plain yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, and dill. You can make it yourself, or find it at your local grocery store.
