GREEK-INSPIRED BURGERS WITH HERB-FETA SAUCE
These healthy burgers get a Mediterranean twist with a yogurt sauce seasoned with oregano, lemon and feta cheese. If you can't find ground lamb, ask the butcher to grind some for you.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat broiler to high.
- Mix yogurt, feta, 1 tablespoon oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- Cut 1/4-inch-thick slices of onion to make 1/4 cup. Finely chop more onion to make 1/4 cup. (Reserve any remaining onion for another use.) Mix the chopped onion and meat in a large bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons oregano and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Form into 4 oval patties, about 4 inches by 3 inches.
- Grill or broil the burgers, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Serve in pita halves, with the sauce, onion slices, cucumber and tomato.

CHICKEN AND FETA BURGERS
These Mediterranean-inspired chicken patties are a light contrast to your beef burgers and complement any backyard get-together. If you use all-breast meat, add some olive oil to the meat mixture so they don't dry out. You could also use 2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives instead of the tapenade. Use tzatziki sauce on top to stay with the Mediterranean flavors or use a sesame dressing with shredded lettuce for an Asian taste.

FETA BURGERS
A Greek-inspired twist on burgers. Great with cole slaw or a kale salad. I devised this recipe when I had a bunch of mint, parsley, and feta cheese on hand.

- To prepare this Greek bifteki recipe, add in a large bowl the minced beef along with the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky add some more breadcrumbs (or some water if it is to dry), till the mix is solid. If you have the time, it is better to knead the mixture for about 10 minutes, until all the ingredients combine. Alternatively, you can mix it using an electric mixer, with the dough hook at low speed.
- When done, put the mixture for the burgers (bifteki) in the fridge to rest for about 10 minutes, whilst preheating the oven to 200C.
- Knead the mixture in flat round burgers. Place the biftekia on a large baking tray and cook in the oven for 18 minutes, flipping the burgers, mid-through cooking time. Top each bifteki with a slice of tomato and a small block of feta cheese and bake further for 7 minutes.
- Serve the biftekia, while still hot with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano. Enjoy!

- Combine the ground buffalo/beef, Worcestershire, and seasonings in a medium bowl. Knead together with your hands until well combined, then form the mixture into 8 equally-sized balls. Flatten them to make thin patties.
- Divide the feta cheese between four patties, then top each with a second patty. Press the edges together to seal the cheese inside, then smooth out the sides with the palms of your hands. Sprinkle generously with salt.
- Cook on the grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness, 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Aim for between 145 and 160 degrees F. Remove from the grill and top with Havarti cheese, allowing it to melt from the residual heat. Let the burgers rest 4-5 minutes while you prep your toppings.
