It was a gorgeous Easter Sunday, and we celebrated by making yummy Lamb burgers. If you are looking for something different to fire on the grill, I’d highly suggest you try this:
Greek Lamb Burgers
- 1.5 lbs of ground lamb (standard groceries may not have it, try Whole Foods or your butcher)
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Feta Cheese (to taste)
- scant tsp of salt and pepper
Mix the above ingedients together and shape into 4 patties. Lightly brush each burger with some olive oil. Cook them on the grill for about 12 minutes, flipping once.
Yogurt-Feta Sauce
- 1 cup whole milk yogurt (I use Greek yogurt)
- 1/3 cup of feta cheese
- 1 seedless cucumber, diced
- 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Combine ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
You can use standard buns for your burgers. For a fun twist, try pita pockets or naan. Last night, I used naan and wrapped my burger, topping it off with the creamy yogurt sauce and a slice of fresh tomato. It was a great dinner! ~Missy
