i really like lamb burgers. But, sometimes we mix 1/2 lamb and 1/2 beef. Whichever you do, they are mighty fine. This is for the burger mix and the tzatziki sauce. This is the “full” sauce recipe. To be honest, i just remove the seeds from the cucumber and dice the rest really small and add to the yogurt. But, do what makes you happy!

Ingredients

  • 1 C plain greek yogurt (for sauce)
  • 1/2 C shredded peeled cucumber (for sauce)
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 Tbs grated lemon zest
  • 4 garlic cloves minced and divided
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp pepper, divided
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dill weed
  • 10 mini buns or mini ciabatta buns
  • 10 bibb lettuce leaves or Boston lettuce leaves
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 C crumbled feta cheese

Method

Step 1

Four sauce. Line a strainer or colander with 4 layers of cheesecloth or 1 coffee filter; place over a bowl. Place yogurt in prepared strainer; cover yogurt with sides of cheesecloth. Refrigerate 2-4 hours. Meanwhile, place cucumber in a colander over a plate; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. Let stand 30 minutes.

Step 2

For burgers, in a large bowl, combine lamb, lemon zest, 2 garlic cloves, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into ten 1/2-in.-thick patties. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

Step 3

For sauce, remove yogurt from cheesecloth to a bowl; discard strained liquid. Squeeze cucumber and blot dry with paper towels. Add cucumber, lemon juice, dill, and the remaining 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to yogurt, stirring until combined.

Step 4

Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat 3-4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°. Grill buns over medium heat, cut sides down, for 30-60 seconds or until toasted. Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, red onion, feta and sauce.
