Spiced Mediterranean Burgers

"These are fabulous! A welcome change from the same old burgers. These are tender and very flavorful. If your store doesn't have lamb, be sure to ask the butcher for it or to order it."

  • Preheat the barbeque or broiler.
  • Place the burger ingredients in a large bowl, blend the mixture with your hands, taking care not to overwork it.
  • Form the mixture into 8 long oval shapes, about 1-inch thick.
  • Chargrill, broil or fry the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side for rare, or to your taste.
  • Split the rolls or pita breads without cutting them through. Remove some of the bread in the center of the rolls. Place some tomato and shallot slices in the rolls, add the burgers, and garnish with the flat-leaf parsley, fresh cilantro and Greek-style yogurt.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
