Delicious Greek-style lamb burgers combined with fresh ingredients, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 slice white bread, crust removed and cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ cup finely chopped shallots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ pounds ground lamb
- 6 pita bread rounds
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
- Thinly sliced tomatoes
- Thinly sliced red onion
- 6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the pieces of white bread and milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until the bread is softened.
- Add the chopped shallots, minced garlic, fresh mint, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything gently to combine.
- Add the ground lamb to the mixture. Combine it lightly until all ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overmix.
- Shape the mixture into patties of similar size.
- Cook the lamb patties using your preferred safe method (grilling, pan-frying, or baking) until they are fully cooked and browned on the outside, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
- While the patties are cooking, warm the pita bread rounds until they are soft.
- To assemble, place shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onion on each pita. Add a lamb patty, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the burgers tender. Fresh ingredients enhance the flavor.
