Greek Spinach Burgers
From Chow Bella
For the burgers:
1 lb ground beef
1 10-oz pkg frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed of excess water, and chopped
2 tbsp finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp chopped sun dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried dill
1 tbsp olive oil (only necessary if your meat is lean)
salt and pepper, to taste
For the toppings:
1 small cucumber, peeled and coarsely gratedÂ
1 7-oz container Greek yogurt (I used Fage 2%)
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp dried dill
salt and pepper, to taste
1 lg head iceberg lettuce, outside rounded edges cut into bun-like rounds
1 tomato, sliced
1. In a bowl, combine all the burger ingredients and shape into 6 patties.
2. Add the oil, if using, to a skillet and brown the patties on both sides.
3. Meanwhile, make the garnishes. For the sauce: place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. Add to a bowl with the yogurt. Mince the garlic, then add a pinch of salt on top of it and use the side of your knife to rub it into a paste. Add to the yogurt along with dill, salt, and pepper.
4. Place one round of lettuce on a plate. Top with a burger, tomato slices, sauce, and another lettuce round. Serve.
