Mediterranean-Style Greek Burgers
Ingredients
  • 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 sprig fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach - rinsed, drained and coarsely chopped
  • 6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 sprigs fresh mint, coarsely chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh basil, coarsely chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 Kaiser rolls, split and toasted
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 4 leaves lettuce
Instructions
1
Combine the ingredients of the feta cheese spread by mixing them in a small bowl until well incorporated.
2
Prepare the burgers: Preheat your oven's broiler and position the rack about 6 inches away from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.
3
Slice the bell pepper in half lengthwise, removing the stem, seeds, and white parts. Place the cut side of the pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin has turned dark and blistered, taking about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the pepper halves to a paper bag to cool and steam, taking about 5 minutes.
5
Heat up your outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
6
Peel off the skin from the cooked bell pepper and chop it into small pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
7
Add ground beef, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, bread crumbs, diced onion, egg, minced garlic, fresh mint, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix everything together with your hands until it's evenly combined. Shape the mixture into four patties, each about 4 1/2 inches in diameter.
8
Cook on the preheated grill until your burgers are cooked to your desired level of doneness, taking about 4 minutes per side for medium. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers, aiming for 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
9
Serve your burgers on warm rolls with the feta cheese spread, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce.
