1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb (crust removed)
1/4 cup milk
1/8 cup Pernod or 1 teaspoon anise extract
olive oil (for frying)
flour (to coat before frying)
sliced fresh bakery bun
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup finely diced cucumber
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 1/2 teapoons dried dill
3/4 teaspoon chopped of fresh mint or 1/4 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon finely minced onion (optional)
1/4 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest (yellow rind only)
crumbled feta cheese (over broiling meat during final phase)
sliced grilled green pepper
sliced fresh red onions or grilled red onion
sliced cucumber
sliced ripe tomatoes
fresh spinach or lettuce leaf

Steps:

  • NOTE: I USE 50% GROUND BEEF WITH 50% GROUND LAMB, WHICH IS A BALANCED MELDING OF FLAVORS.
  • TRADITIONAL PREPARATION METHOD: INTO a large bowl add the SEASONED GROUND MEAT ingredients without mixing; IN another small bowl beat one egg with 1 tablespoon flour; ADD egg/flour mixture to ground meat ingredients in large bowl; WHISK 1/4 cup milk and 1/8 cup ouzo or Pernod (or 1 teaspoon anise extract) in a small bowl and add 1/2 cup bread crumbs; ALLOW mixture to absorb; ADD to meat mixture; MIX well; CHILL meatball mixture until very cold (40 degrees F).
  • QUICK FOOD PROCESSOR METHOD: INTO large food processor add 1/4 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon flour, 1/8 cup ouzo (or 1 teaspoon anise extract) and 1/2 cup bread crumbs; PROCESS; ADD the MAIN MEATBALL INGREDIENTS except for ground lamb and feta cheese; PROCESS; ADD ground lamb; PROCESS (Feta cheese may be added to mixture now and processed or folded into after); CHILL meatball mixture until very cold (40 degrees F).
  • SHAPE meat mixture into six patties.
  • PLACE patties onto a baking sheet (do not use a broiler pan with grill since patties will stick to the grill and/or and be difficult to remove after broiling).
  • PREHEAT oven to BROIL.
  • BROIL the patties 2-3 minutes, TURN patties using a metal spatula (NOTE: YOU MAY ADD CRUMBLED FETA CHEESE OVER BURGERS NOW IF DESIRED); BROIL 2 minutes longer or until desired doneness is reached (patties will continue to cook after removing from oven); REMOVE pan from oven; COVER patties with foil.
  • MAKE CUCUMBER-DILL SAUCE: Combine Cucumber-Dill Yogurt Sauce recipe ingredients in a small bowl (1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup finely diced cucumbers, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 1/2 teapoons dried dill, 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh mint or 1/4 teaspoon dried mint, 1/2 teaspoon finely minced onions, 1/4 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest); CHILL before serving.
  • WARM or toast buns if desired (For toasted steamed buns if desired, melt butter a large skillet over medium heat; PLACE place halved buns cut-side down; REDUCE heat and cover until buns are browned on bottom and heated through); SPREAD the CUCUMBER-DILL YOGURT SAUCE; ASSEMBLE burgers as desired with above FIXINGS.
  • SERVE and say, "OPA"!

MY BIG FAT GREEK BURGER



My Big Fat Greek Burger image

I was looking for ideas on how to use up some fresh dill when I came upon a recipe at myeatingwell.com. The cooked spinach not only adds some great flavor, it helps keep the extra lean beef moist and tender. Presented here are my modifications to their dish.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 16m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb 93% lean ground beef
1/2 cup cooked spinach, squeezed dry (frozen works well)
1/2 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese, preferably sheep's-milk
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup nonfat greek-style plain yogurt
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 pinch kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
4 whole wheat pita bread or 4 white pita bread, warmed
1/2 cucumber, cut into 16 thin slices
2 plum tomatoes (use a dry tomato to avoid a soggy sandwich) or 3 campari tomatoes, thin sliced (use a dry tomato to avoid a soggy sandwich)
1 small red onion, cut into thin papery slices

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients for the yogurt sauce in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • To prepare the burgers combine the spinach, feta, and herbs together in a medium bowl until just mixed. Gently fold in the ground beef taking care not to over mix as that will toughen the burger. Divide the mix into fourths and shape into patties.
  • Prepare your indoor grill with a light coating of olive oil, olive oil flavored cooking spray would work well here. Cook the burgers about 4 minutes on the indoor grill.
  • To serve your burgers, split the warmed pita bread and the burgers. Allow diners to adorn with onion slices, cucumbers, tomatoes and sauce to taste.
