GREEK-STYLE FETA AND OLIVE SPREAD (FOR BURGERS, STEAKS AND FISH)



Greek-Style Feta and Olive Spread (For Burgers, Steaks and Fish) image

This spread is so good on grilled steaks, pork and turkey burgers, I use it all the time topped on my salmon patties (recipe #155183) in between a bun. You can use it on just about anything! All the ingredients should be adjusted to taste. Plan ahead this needs to chill for a minimum of 5 hours, overnight is even better, this get stronger with chilling time, so be careful with the fresh garlic, it can be too overpowering in this spread if you make the mistake of adding in to much while making it... start with adding in a small amount and chill for about 3 hours if you feel that you want more garlic flavor then mix in more. You can add in salt, but the feta and olives are very salty.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your fish burgers will taste.
  • Season your fish well. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish burgers are best when they are cooked through but still moist and flaky. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
