In what seems like a different lifetime, I was an ardent vegetarian and lived off of a diet of veggie burgers, black beans, and french fries. Of course, there are many ways to be a thriving, healthy vegetarian but I just wasn’t one of them. I was in college at the time and was convinced I was making healthy choices for my body but as the years went on, I had less and less energy and was finally advised to slowly introduce meat back into my diet.

Craved Burgers Recipe

After over a decade of not eating meat, I wasn’t terrific at preparing it at home but I craved burgers, so I’d often order them when eating out. Fast forward to the present day and, in truth, I’m still pretty crummy at cooking meat. I can handle pasta sauce, chicken, and burgers at home — but anything else I tend to overcook or botch somehow. And while delicious, there are only so many ways to dress up a beef burger so when I saw this recipe for a Greek version I couldn’t help but wonder what they’d be like as lamb burgers instead.

Recipe For Lamb Burgers

Our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant here in Seattle makes a hummus that comes out warm, topped with a layer of sizzling lamb. Again, my wheels were spinning. What if I made these burgers with lamb and topped them with feta, hummus and the grilled mushroom and pepper mixture? This was definitely something I could handle, and would feel like a step up from the typical burger game.

Beef Burger

I didn’t end up straying too far from the original recipe except in my choice to use lamb instead of beef and in spreading a thick layer of our favorite hummus on the buns before serving. I also added some greens for color, and ended up making a big salad to accompany the lamb burgers. And a cold beer. With really only 30 minutes or so of active prep and cook time, these will be a ‘make again’ very soon. The beer’s chilling already.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground lamb
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups thickly sliced button or cremini mushrooms
  • 2 small red onions, sliced
  • 1 red sweet pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into strips
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine lamb, Worcestershire sauce, half of the oregano, salt and pepper (try not to overmix). Shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties. Set aside.
