First off, I apologize for the presentation and not so stellar photo. I need to fix that for next time.
But, onto tonights menu, Lamburgers with homemade tzatziki sauce and roasted potatoes. (Please note, I don't really measure stuff when I'm cooking on my own, I just eyeball and adjust accordingly)
For the burger:
- 2/3lb ground lamb
- Feta cheese
- Red onion
Mix ingredients together and split into two patties (1/3lb each) and cook on an outdoor (or indoor) grill until lamb reaches an internal temperature of 160-165F. Top with a little bit of feta and stick under the broiler for a couple of minutes and top with thinly sliced red onion.
Tzatziki sauce:
- 8 ounces Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber (peeled and seeded and finely chopped)
- Extra virgin olive oil (I used about 1/2 tablespoon)
- Red wine vinegar (about 1 teaspoon)
- Lemon juice (probably used a teaspoon or two)
- Minced garlic
Top the burger with some tzatziki sauce and serve on Greek style pita or eat plain (like I did, it was such a big burger!).
For the potatoes, I used my cool new Pampered Chef Crinkle Cutter (Colleen, that thing is great!) to jazz up the potatoes a little, and baked them in the oven for about 40 minutes at 375 with some olive oil, red wine vinegar, red onion, salt and greek seasoning.
***Serves 2***
We also decided (since the potatoes were taking forever to get done) to make a quick appetizer, and the results were good!
- Tostitos scoops (Jalapeno flavor)
- Black beans
- Corn
- Shredded cheddar cheese
The quick appetizer was a great idea....I have never eaten lamb but it sure does make for a great looking burger!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of lamb, but the appetizer looks great!
