Greek Lamb Burgers

          One of my resolutions for 2014 is to cook more (and to cook more from scratch) so I started the new year with one of my favorite recipes: Greek Lamb Burgers. The dish is super easy to make and has amazing authentic Greek and Middle Eastern flavor.



INGREDIENTS

Burgers:
1 lb ground lamb
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1 tablespoon dill
Salt and pepper to taste

Greek Yogurt Dressing:
 One single serving lowfat Greek yogurt (I use Chobani or Total)
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:
Cucumber slices
Crumbled Feta cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine lamb and seasonings in a large bowl and form into two large patties
2. Heat a frying pan with cooking spray or olive oil over medium high heat
3. Cook burgers 6-8 minutes, turning frequently
4. Top with yogurt dressing, cucumber slices, and feta cheese
5. Toss remaining cucumber with feta, olive oil, salt and pepper as a side dish
