Greek Lamb Burger

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Greek cuisine is about freshness and bold flavors. In this recipe, we swap beef for lamb, which brings a more intense, gamey flavor profile. Lamb fat is richer, so the cooling acidity of tzatziki (cucumber yogurt) and salty feta crumbles are essential counterparts.

Instructions

1 ✓

Make Tzatziki: Grate half the cucumber, salt it, let sit 5 mins, then squeeze out liquid. Mix with yogurt, one crushed garlic clove, and half the dill.

Tip: Cucumber water can be bitter, so removing it is key.
2 ✓

Mix meat: Combine ground lamb with remaining crushed garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Form two patties.

Tip: Lamb can handle bolder seasoning than beef.
3 ✓

Slice remaining cucumber, tomato, and onion thinly.

Tip: We are building Greek salad elements into the burger.
4 ✓

Cook meat in hot skillet with a little olive oil 3-4 mins per side until crust forms.

Tip: Lamb is best cooked medium so it doesn't dry out.
5 ✓

Toast buns. Spread tzatziki on bottom, add lettuce and meat.

Tip: Tzatziki on the bottom won't soak the bun as much as you think because thick yogurt is fatty.
6 ✓

Crumble feta over hot meat, top with veggies and remaining dill.

Tip: Feta doesn't melt like cheddar, but heat softens it nicely.

Recipe FAQ

The tzatziki is too runny.
After grating cucumber, salt it and squeeze out the liquid thoroughly. If you skip this, it waters down the yogurt.
I don't like lamb, what can I substitute?
You can use beef, but mix in a little pork fat or bacon for juiciness.
