The Perseus Burger

• Burgers
• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1/2 pound lean ground beef
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1/2 cup finely diced onion
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
• 1.5 teaspoons Za'atar spice blend
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika (not sweet)
• salt/pepper
• 4-6 tablespoons crumbled feta
• olive oil
• 4-6 buns (I used ciabatta type rolls)
• Tzatziki sauce (recipe below)
• sliced tomato, red onion, fresh spinach, and sliced black olives for garnish
• Tzatziki
• 1/2 seedless cucumber- peeled
• 2 cloves garlic- minced
• 1 teaspoon each salt & pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika (not sweet)
• 1/2-3/4 cups crumbled feta
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 tablespoons chopped mint
• juice from half a lemon

1. Mix together lamb, beef, onion, garlic, parsley, za'atar, oregano, paprika, and s&p until well combined.
2. separate meat mixture into 4-6 balls, depending on how big you and your guests want the burgers (I made one biggun, 2 medium, and 2 small.) To stuff with feta: flatten into a pretty flat oblong shape, and add about a tablespoon of feta to half. Fold the other half over, squish to seal the edges, and flatten to desired patty flatness. I like mine more patty shaped, less ball shaped. Put patties on plate, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch more hyssop, paprika, s&p.
3. Light BBQ and brush grill with olive oil. Grill burgers, turning once, for about 10 minutes total- until desired doneness. Grill buns.
4. On bottom half of bun, make a bed of spinach and olives for burger, add burger, and top with red onion, tomato, and tzatziki! Savor your first delicious bite, because you just showed that lamb who's boss!
5. Grate cucumber and squeeze out then discard excess liquid. Whisk to combine all ingredients. Serve with delicious lamburgers and Greek fries!
