Lamb Greek salad burger

Try these tasty Greek-inspired burgers for your next barbecue. They’re loaded with Mediterranean flavour from haloumi, spices and a green olive dip.

Whip up these Lamb Greek Salad Burgers for a tasty, Mediterranean-inspired spin on a barbecue favourite. Start by making your patties by placing the lamb, egg, breadcrumbs, halloumi, dried oregano and paprika in a large bowl. Season with a little pepper and salt. Use your hands to mix until well combined. Divide the mixture into four even portions, then shape each portion into a patty about 12 centimetres in diameter. Place the patties on a lined tray and cover with plastic wrap, then pop in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill. Next, heat a chargrill or barbecue grill on medium-high. Cook the patties for three to four minutes each side until they’re cooked through. Transfer the patties to a clean tray and cover with foil and set aside for five minutes to rest. Repeat with the remaining patties. While the patties are resting, place the bun bases on serving plates and spread evenly with olive dip. In a small bowl add the vinegar, oil and chopped oregano. Season with the little pepper and then whisk together. When the patties are ready, top the bun bases with lettuce, cucumber, capsicum, the patties, tomato and onion. Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the onion, then top the burgers with the bun tops. Juicy and delicious, these lamb burgers with Greek-style salad take burger night to the next level.
