<\/a><\/p>\nI’ve served ’em in pita pockets with creamy Tzalziki Sauce. \u00a0To add Mediterranean\u00a0flavor to your burgers, add lemon zest into ground lamb or beef, then spread a kalamata olive paste onto the pita bread.<\/span><\/p>\n If you’re like me, you’ll welcome this new summer burger. \u00a0I especially appreciate the flavor the lemon gives the meat. \u00a0I’ve tried Mediterranean Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce using both lamb and beef and enjoyed them equally.<\/p>\n In a bowl, combine feta cheese, oregano, rosemary, 1\/2 tsp. pepper, and the lemon zest. Add ground meat and mix gently. Form into four 1-in.-thick patties. \u00a0I recommend using this burger press<\/a> to do the trick, it’s like mine, but better!<\/p>\n In a blender, whirl olives, dill, parsley, lemon juice, sugar, and remaining 1\/4 tsp. pepper. Add 3 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. at a time, to make a smooth paste.<\/p>\n Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above cooking grate only 3 to 4 seconds). Grill burgers, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through (cut to test), 10 to 12 minutes total.<\/p>\nMediterranean Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce<\/h2>\n
