Grilled Lamb Burgers W/ Marinated Red Onions, Dill & Sliced
- 1 14 lbs ground lamb
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 small garlic clove, minced, smashed to a paste
- kosher salt, to taste
- 6 ounces feta, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 8)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 12 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 4 whole wheat pita bread, warmed
- 1 tomatoes, 4 thin slices
- 1 English cucumber, 8 thin slices
- Prepare a medium charcoal or gas grill fire.
- Clean and oil the grill grates.
- Gently mix the lamb with the paprika, oregano, garlic, and 1 tsp salt.
- Shape it into four 1/2 inch thick patties.
- On a large plate, lay out the slices of feta and sprinkle with the olive oil and 1 Tb of the dill.
- In a small bowl, toss the onion with the vinegar, sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and the remaining 1 Tb dill, and let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Grill the burgers on one side until they have good grill marks, about 5 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side until it has good grill marks, too, and the burgers are just light pink inside (make a nick with a paring knife), about 5 minutes for medium doneness.
- Serve the burgers in the warmed pita with the feta, tomato, cucumber, and a heaping 1 tsp of pickled onions.
