SIRIOUSLY DELICIOUS
GREEK LAMB BURGERS
By SIRI DALY
We rely on these delicious Greek
burgers to satisfy our lamb craving.
There is so much to love about this
recipe. These burgers are more
unique than plain old beef patties
and packed with savory flavors. They
take almost no time to make. They are
served with a creamy, homemade
tzatziki sauce, which, once you make
one time, you will want to make over
and over again.
Serves: 4
Hands-on time: 15 Minutes
Total time: 20 Minutes
1 pound ground lamb
3 tablespoons grated red
onion
3 tablespoons finely chopped
fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄2 unpeeled English cucumber
1⁄2 cup plain whole-milk Greek
yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup baby spinach leaves
4 soft potato hamburger buns
4 tomato slices
1⁄2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Combine the lamb, onion, parsley,
vinegar, 1 teaspoon of the garlic,
and 3⁄4 teaspoon each of the salt and
pepper in a medium bowl; stir gently
until just combined. Divide the mixture
into 4 portions. Shape each into
a patty.
Heat a lightly greased grill pan over
medium-high. Add the patties to
the pan, and cook until a thermometer
inserted in thickest portion
registers 140°F for medium, 4 to 5
minutes per side, or until desired
degree of doneness. Let stand 5 to
10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grate the cucumber
to measure 1 cup. Place on a clean
towel, wrap the towel around
the cucumber, and twist tightly
to remove as much liquid as
possible. Combine the grated
cucumber, yogurt, dill, lemon
juice, and remaining 1 teaspoon
garlic and 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and
pepper in a small bowl.
Divide the spinach among the
bottom halves of the buns; top
each with 1 patty, one-fourth of the
cucumber sauce, 1 tomato slice, and
about 2 tablespoons feta. Cover
with the tops of the buns, and serve
immediately.
