GRILLED LAMB AND FETA BURGERS



Grilled Lamb and Feta Burgers image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 43m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 pound feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 to 6 rolls or buns
Easy Tzatziki, recipe follows
1 cup Greek whole milk yogurt
1 English cucumber, seeded, finely grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, feta, allspice, parsley, salt and pepper, making sure not to overwork the mixture. Form the lamb mixture into 4 to 6 patties.
  • Heat a grill pan over moderately-high heat and cook the lamb burgers until a nice crust forms, about 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and let cook another 4 minutes. Let the burgers rest 10 minutes. Serve topped with Easy Tzatziki on a roll or bun.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Chill.
  • What Really Makes This Recipe Sing: Allspice is one of those secret weapons in savory foods. You can't put your finger on it, but you know it is there. It was named by the English, because they thought it contained cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Shh, it is also the secret ingredient in Cincinnati-style chili.
  • What to toss in if you have it: Feel free to add some chopped fresh mint to this as well. Having a cocktail party? BYOC and makes these into mini's. Grab one before you serve because they will disappear fast.

GRILLED LAMB BURGERS WITH YOGURT-FETA SAUCE



Grilled Lamb Burgers with Yogurt-Feta Sauce image

Parsley can be so much more than a garnish! Here, it adds fresh flavor to each component of these Greek-inspired lamb burgers: the patties, the yogurt-feta sauce, and the chopped tomato salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
1 1/4 pounds ground lamb
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
4 ounces feta, drained and crumbled (3/4 cup)
7 ounces plain Greek yogurt (3/4 cup)
1 tomato (about 7 ounces), cored and coarsely chopped
4 brioche buns, preferably seeded, split
Rosemary Shoestring Fries, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Pluck parsley leaves and tender upper stems, discarding tough lower stems. Chop half of parsley (you should have about 1/2 cup packed). Gently fold half of chopped parsley into lamb just until evenly combined (do not overmix, or patties will be tough). Form into 4 patties slightly wider than buns, each about 1/2 inch thick. Season generously with salt and pepper; brush with oil.
  • Stir together cheese, yogurt, and remaining 1/4 cup chopped parsley; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, stir together tomato, whole parsley leaves and tender stems, and oil; season with salt.
  • Brush grates with oil and grill patties, flipping once, until charred in places and cooked to desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare; 9 to 11 minutes for medium. Transfer to a plate and let stand a few minutes. Meanwhile, grill split sides of buns just until charred in places, about 30 seconds.
  • Divide patties, yogurt-feta sauce, and tomato salad evenly among buns. Serve immediately, with fries.

LAMB BURGERS WITH CHARRED TOMATOES AND FETA



Lamb Burgers with Charred Tomatoes and Feta image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 pound ground lamb
Vegetable oil, for brushing the grill grates
4 brioche buns, sliced in half through the middle
Tztaziki Spread (see recipe below)
Charred Tomatoes and Feta (see recipe below)
1 Persian cucumber
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill fronds
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion, cut into 1/3-inch-thick rings
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing grill grates
Kosher salt
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Add the cumin, coriander, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the ground lamb to a large bowl and break up slightly with a fork. Add the spice mixture to the lamb and using clean hands, mix the meat so the spice mixture is evenly dispersed. Form the meat into 4 equal size patties to fit the size of the buns.
  • Brush the grates of an outdoor grill with oil and preheat to medium-high. On one side of the grill add the burgers and cook until the internal temperature is 145 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the burgers to a plate. Once you remove the burgers, place the buns, cut side- down on the grill to lightly toast, about 2 minutes.
  • To assemble burgers: Lay buns on a clean work surface, cut side-up. Spread the Tzatziki Sauce evenly on the top and bottom halves of the buns. Place a patty on each of the bottom buns and top with Charred Tomatoes and Feta. Place the top buns on and serve.
  • Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Using clean hands, squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cucumber. Add it to a small bowl and stir in the sour cream, dill, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Add the tomatoes to a large bowl and place the onions on top. Add the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt and, using clean hands, rub the onions so they are coated in olive oil, but try to keep them intact in their rings. Lay the onions on a plate or rimmed baking sheet. The residual salt and oil will have dripped down to the tomatoes, so give them a slight toss to coat them. Skewer the tomatoes on a metal or wood skewer. This will help them not fall through the grates of the grill. (If using a wood skewer then be sure to soak in water for 30 minutes before using.)
  • Brush the grates of an outdoor grill with oil and preheat to medium-high. Add the onions and tomatoes and grill until the onions are charred in places and the tomatoes are slightly bursting, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the onions and tomatoes and add to a medium bowl. Using kitchen shears, roughly cut up the onions and tomatoes. Add the crumbled feta and toss to combine. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
