Greek Food is indeed hands down, one of my FAVORITE!! I love that fresh dill bite you get in most dishes. I love, love, LOVE olives! And don't get me started on the infamous tzatziki sauce... to die for!!!!
Now let me first start by giving my apologies for not posting each step with pics as I normally do, but I literally didn't plan on posting this recipe until AFTER we ate it and hubby gushed about how good it was (*tongue out & pats myself on the back*)!! So I figured I'd still post using the after pic of the finished product and giving you what matters most .... the recipe!
Let's get into it...
Ingredients for lamb burger:
*Ground Lamb (you can definitely opt for ground turkey or even ground beef, It's totally up to your liking)
*Seasonings of your choice (I used my normal go to's)-
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Pink himalayan sea salt
Fresh cracked peppercorn
Minced onion
Fresh chopped dill
Diced red onion
Juice of 1/2 of lime
Feta cheese
Brioche bun (or bread of your choice)
Ingredients for Tzatziki sauce:
*6 oz. of plain Greek yogurt
*Fresh chopped dill
*Juice of 1/2 of lime and lime zest
*1/2 of peeled, seedless cucumber chopped
*1 teaspoon of minced garlic
*Diced red onion
*Garlic powder
*Onion powder
*Sea salt
-Start first by making your tzatziki sauce and place in the refrigerator to chill.
(The amount of each ingredient used really depends on the amount of sauce you'll need. I only had a pound of ground lamb which made 4 burgers so the 6 oz. of Greek yogurt was perfect).
-Now season up your ground meat with your the ingredients above and form your burgers. (I always form them bigger initially because as you know they'll shrink up once cooked and you want them to fit the bun).
-Heat about 2-3 tablespoons of oil of your choice (I use coconut oil) to the pan and add your burgers. Cook on med-high heat for about 3-4 mins. on each side or until well done (depends on your pan and heat).
-Drain your burgers and place to the side until ready to build.
-Lightly toast your bun of choice (I used a brioche bun) and get to building your burger.
And that's it! Your all done!
Here's the final product. I didn't have tomatoes on hand but that did not stop the show. It.....WAS.....ABSOLUTELY.....DELICIOUS!!!!
As you can see, I paired my "Greek lamb burger" with grilled corn and chips! I hope you guys try this out because it was easy, quick and DELICIOUS! Step up your normal burger and give it a go! If you do, come back and let me know how you liked it and if you did anything different!
As always... Thanks for checking out my blog: TwithTally!
