This is such a great switch up from a traditional burger. I love serving this with my homemade, lightened up tzatziki and roasted potatoes. (greek lemon potatoes)
Greek Burgers & Lite n’ Tite Tzatiki
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ½ red onion chopped
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped
- 1 tsbp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Sea salt & pepper to taste
Tzatiki Recipe:
- 1 cup greek yogurt plain
- ½ cucumber seeded and shredded
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 tbsp dill, chopped
- ½ juice of lemon
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for burgers. Form into patties. Should make about 6 medium patties.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium/high heat and cook patties 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer patties to oven for 6-8 minutes.
- While the burgers are in the oven, prepare your tzatziki. Ensure you remove the seeds from the cucumber. You can easily do this by slicing the cucumber lengthwise, using a spoon, and scoop out the seeds. Then shred the cucumber using a cheese grater. Combine all tzatziki ingredients and mix together. You can adjust the flavour to your liking.
- Once burgers are cooked to your liking, serve with your favourite veggies! I love pairing this dish with my Greek Lemon Potatoes. https://girlslivingwell.com/greek-lemon-potatoes/
