Feta Beef Burger

The Feta Beef Burger is a delicious twist on the classic burger, featuring juicy beef patties infused with tangy feta cheese and aromatic herbs. This Halal Greek-inspired dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a cozy dinner at home.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Tzatziki sauce - 100 grams

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped red onion, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly in a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked feta beef patty, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
