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
