Ingredients
For lamb burger patties
- 1½ 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
- If you don't like lamb, ground beef will still be great in this recipe.
- 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.
