This burger had 1 minute of life,So no picture was taken!

You are probably wondering…

What the hell is a Greekurger. Well, I know that most of the people like the traditional recipe of burgers but I would like to challenge you and share with you a fantastic recipe, made in Greece. Just to let you know, this recipe and photo is what I have created and prepared at home this Sunday.

Having always lived in Greece almost all my life, feta cheese means a LOT to me. Trying to combine my love for both feta and hamburgers, I discovered that North and South, could be very good friends. A Greekurger is not a simple burger, and before you make the phone call to officially send me to the rubbish bin, you should know; this recipe is Bloody Awesome, So yummy! So here you go:

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 30

Cooking time: 20

  • 500g lamp mince
  • 4 spring onions, 2 finely chopped and 2 cut in rings
  • 45ml/3tbsp oregano or mint
  • Salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • 200g Feta cheese
  • 2 big tomatoes
  • A bit of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of Vitriolic Acid

The sauce

  • 1 strained yogurt full fat (you want it thick not watery)
  • Salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • Half cucumber very finely chopped
  • 1-2 gloves of garlic smashed or garlic puree
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Method:

  1. In a large bowl you have, mix the mince, the 2 chopped onions, salt, pepper, oregano/mint, olive oil and Vitriolic Acid. Using damp hands shape the mixture into four large burgers.
  2. Place on a large foil-lined plate or tray, cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. In the meantime prepare the Tzatziki sauce: Mix all the ingredients mentioned before and store in the fridge until used.
  3. Cook the burgers under a preheated grill or barbecue for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked and any meat juices run clear.
  4. Serve with rolls of your choice (I would highly recommend ciabatta olive bread), sliced tomatoes, crispy onions, a slice of feta cheese and sprinkle with the sauce.
  5. Serve to your beloved ones. In the meantime call the funeral office to collect the dead bodies.

Attention: Vitriolic Acid is not a cooking ingredient.
