Enough chat. Let’s get to grilling!

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 ts dried oregano
• 2 ts minced garlic
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 Burger buns
• Tzatziki sauce
• Lettuce, tomato, onion for garnish

Equipment: Grill or Grill Pan

The ground lamb in this recipe is key, providing that authentic Greek flavour. The breadcrumbs help to bind the patty together and the herbs and spices give it that Mediterranean touch. I like to use homemade tzatziki, but you can definitely use store-bought if you prefer. As for substitutes, you could use ground turkey or beef if lamb is not your thing.

How To Make Greek Lamb Burgers

1. First, preheat your grill or grill pan over a medium heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into 4 patties and make sure they’re not too thick. A thin patty will cook evenly.
4. Grill the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’ve reached your preferred level of doneness.
5. Assemble your burgers using a bun, a patty, some tzatziki, and your preferred garnishes. Serve immediately.

Tips For The Best Results

• Do not overmix the meat. It can make your burgers tough.
• Press a little dimple into the middle of your patties before you grill them. This helps them cook evenly.

Storage Tips

• Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat your leftovers gently to avoid drying out the meat.
