1 1/2 pound ground lamb
1/4 cup fresh mint (chopped)
1/4 cup fresh dill (chopped)
1/2 cup Kalamata olives (chopped)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground corriander

Steps:

  • Prepare your grill for cooking over high direct heat.

Provided by Sabrina Modelle

Categories     Dinner     Grill

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the tzatziki:
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat is best here)
1/3 cup lightly packed chopped fresh herbs (I used equal amounts of mint, parsley, and dill)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 cloves chopped garlic
For the lamb burgers:
1 tablespoon dried onion granules
1 tablespoon dried garlic granules or powder
1/4 teaspoon dried lemon peel , optional
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb (or a combination of beef and lamb)
4 burger buns
To serve:
Sliced tomatoes
Lettuce
Crumbled feta
Red onion
Tzatziki sauce

Steps:

  • Combine spices: Whisk together the dried onion, dried garlic, dried lemon peel, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Season and rest the burgers: Sprinkle additional seasoning onto both sides of the patties. Rest on counter for 20 to 30 minutes to allow burgers to come to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your grill: If you have a gas grill, preheat at high temperature for at least 10 minutes with the lid closed. For charcoal grills, fill a grill chimney with charcoal and light it. When the coals are hot (they should be covered with a layer of fine gray ash) empty the coals into the grill. Set the grate in place and cover the grill. Heat for 5 minutes.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Greek

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large unpeeled garlic cloves
1 ¼ pounds ground lamb
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ large cucumber, peeled, grated and squeezed very dry in a clean towel
¾ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon red or rice wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
4 large, thin red onion slices
4 large, thin tomato slices
4 small (4 inch) pita breads

Steps:

  • Set 4 whole garlic cloves in a small skillet over medium-high heat; toast until spotty brown, about 5 minutes. Peel, mince and set aside.
  • Break up lamb in a medium bowl. Sprinkle roasted garlic, feta, oregano, salt and pepper over meat; stir with a fork to combine. Divide into 4 portions. Toss meat back and forth between cupped hands to form a ball. Pat with fingertips to flatten to about 4 inches wide. Refrigerate.
  • Mix cucumber, sour cream, mint, vinegar, 1 minced clove of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Refrigerate sauce until ready to serve.
  • Build a hot fire on one side of grill. Replace rack. When coals are covered with white ash, add burgers. Cover and cook, turning only once, until done, about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium to medium-well burgers.

Time 25m

Yield 8 burgers, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 pita breads
2 lbs ground lamb
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups yogurt
1/2 cup cucumber, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
dill pickle, sliced
tomatoes, sliced
red onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Cut each pita bread in half, crosswise, to form a pocket. Wrap pitas in foil and warm in a 300 degree oven while preparing burgers.

MEDITERRANEAN LAMB BURGERS

These burgers are juicy and full of flavor. Even people who don't really like lamb have enjoyed these burgers. You can double the recipe and freeze half of the patties in wax paper to eat at a later time. Fine to place on the grill frozen (just add to the cooking time).

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground lamb
½ pound ground beef
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) container Greek yogurt
½ lemon, zested
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
4 slices green tomato
4 ciabatta sandwich rolls, sliced horizontally
1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese, sliced
8 baby arugula leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix the ground lamb, ground beef, mint, ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl until just combined. Divide evenly into four portions and shape in to large patties. Set aside. Mix Greek yogurt, lemon zest, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; cover and refrigerate.
  • Cook the lamb and beef patties on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place the slices of onion and green tomato on the grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 1 minute on each side.
  • Spread yogurt sauce over the sliced ciabatta rolls. Assemble each burger by placing the patty on the the roll, and dividing the feta cheese slices over the patties. Top with a slice of grilled tomato, grilled onion, and 2 leaves of arugula, followed by the top half of the roll.
