Fancy a burger with a bit of a twist? Why not try these Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers. Quick and simple to make, but they taste AMAZING!

Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers

 

Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers

I love making my own burgers – you know exactly what’s in them, you can tailor make them to your own preferences AND they taste much nicer than the shop bought ones 😀

If I am making burgers, I’ll often make my tried and tested Easy Homemade Beef Burgers – one of the most popular recipes on my site, but I do also love to mix things up with different meats and different flavours.

I particularly like using lamb in burgers. Lamb is packed full of flavour and pairs so well with different herbs, spices and other flavourings.

I’ve already shared with you my Spicy Moroccan Lamb Burgers and today I want to share with you my latest creation – Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers!

Lamb and mint are well known partners, but this beautiful partnership is further improved by adding in a handful of crumbly, tangy Feta – giving these burgers a bit of a Greek twist.

In addition to the 3 hero ingredients, these delicious Greek inspired burgers have a little cumin, garlic and onion to enhance the flavour of the lamb and make this a truly irresistible burger!

What to serve with Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers?

These lovely lamb burgers are delicious served in traditional burger buns (I like the ones with seeds on top!), with all your favourite trimmings.

But to stick with the Mediterranean theme I like to serve these burgers with a dollop of freshly made tzatziki and a scattering of salad leaves – especially peppery rocket!

You could serve these burgers just as they are with a green salad, or why not serve up a Greek salad on the side and some homemade potato wedges?

Other side dishes which go well with these Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers include:

  • Easy Tabbouleh Salad
  • Mexican Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes
  • Roasted New Potatoes with Garlic and Rosemary
  • Easy Homemade Parmentier Potatoes

What to drink with Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers?

Mixing lamb – normally a red wine meat – with the tangy white wine friendly flavours of feta and tzatziki make this burger a tricky one to wine match. My best bet would be to go straight down the middle and opt for a dry, fruity rosé – something grenache/garnacha based from the south of France or Spain would be perfect here!

If it’s got to be red, then opt for a medium-bodied, fruity red, such as a young Spanish Garnacha. White wine is not a natural partner for lamb, but given the feta and yogurt in this dish, you could probably just about get away with a gutsy Sauvignon Blanc.

 

Can you make these lamb burgers ahead of time?

Of course! Simply make the burgers, but don’t cook them. Place carefully in a plastic container, separated by sheets of baking paper and place in the fridge. They will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

When you are ready to cook them, cook as per the recipe below.

Can you reheat these lamb burgers?

Yep, definitely. In the unlikely event that you have leftover cooked burgers, they will keep happily in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can eat them cold or reheat under a medium/low grill (broiler), or pan fry over a low heat, until piping hot all the way through.

Alternatively, you could crumble the leftover burgers into a tomato based sauce and serve with pasta.

Can you freeze lamb burgers?

Yes, absolutely – simply make the burgers, but don’t cook them. Place carefully in a plastic container, separated by sheets of baking paper and place in the freezer. They will keep in the freezer for 1 month.

Defrost completely in the fridge before cooking as per the recipe.

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary

Lamb, Feta and Mint burgers

  • 750 g  lamb mince
  • 100 g feta cheese crumbled
  • 4 tablespoons mint chopped finely
  • 2  cloves  garlic  grated or crushed
  • 1  small onion  finely grated
  • 2  teaspoons  ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To Serve

  • Tzatziki
  • Burger buns
  • Rocket or other salad leaves

Instructions

  • Place all the burger ingredients in a large bowl and mix together with your hands until thoroughly combined. Really give it a good squishing!
  • Divide the mixture into 6 and roll each portion into a large ball then squash to make a burger patty.
  • Press a small dent in the centre of each burger to help stop the burger from rising up too much in the middle.
  • Preheat your grill (broiler) to medium high or prepare your BBQ.
  • Cook the burgers for 5 minutes on each side or until done to your liking.
  • Serve in burger buns on with a good dollop of tzatziki and a scattering of salad leaves on top. If you like, serve these burgers with homemade potato wedges, Greek salad and more tzatziki on the side.

    These burgers look delicious! I’ve put feta in lamb meatballs before and so I can imagine just how good these are. x

    These sound delicious Eb! Lamb, feta and mint – perfect trio! I find lamb burgers to be my summertime burgers of choice for some reason. They just seem to fit the season more than your standard beef ones or is it just me? lol x

      Thanks Jo! Oh yes I so agree – lamb, feta and mint are a great trio. And I know what you mean about lamb and summer – they do seem more summery somehow – especially with the mint and the cooling tzatziki… and maybe some tabbouleh on the side! Eb x
