Time 34m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 small cucumber
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh dill
1/2 cup crumbled Greek feta cheese
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large eggplant
2 pounds ground lamb
3/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
Salt and pepper
Oil, for brushing on the grill rack
6 small pita breads
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce

Steps:

  • Prepare an open grill for moderate direct-heat cooking
  • Seed and chop the cucumber. In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill and feta. Refrigerate and chill for 1 hour.
  • In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk in oil until thick and well blended. Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch rounds. Arrange in a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish; coat well with dressing. Grill eggplant until tender, about 3 minutes each side, keep warm.
  • Lamb burger:
  • In a large bowl blend together lamb, mint, cumin, salt and pepper, to taste. Form 6 patties.
  • Before grilling burgers, brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack turning once, 4 minutes each side.
  • Cut pitas horizontally and lightly toast over indirect heat.
  • Assemble burgers as follows: pita bottom, lettuce, burger topped generously with tzatziki, a slice of grilled eggplant, and the top of the pita.

Just made this recipe and it was a disaster! The burger was dry and the tzatziki sauce was too runny. I don't recommend it.

I made this burger with ground beef instead of lamb and it was still delicious! I also added some feta cheese to the tzatziki sauce.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I prefer simpler recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients.

Not a fan of this recipe. The burger was dry and the tzatziki sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.
