For the last few weeks it’s been raining not stop which let me to believe that summer was completely over and you would be looking at grey skies for the next 8 months.  Something happened that made me change my mind. The sun came out! I have no idea how many days the sun is going to last so I made sure to take this opportunity to use the bbq one last time.

I grabbed some ground lamb on my way home from work to make some gourmet burgers to wrap up summer. Lamb tastes a little gamier then other meat but with all the tang of the various ingredients and toppings it really makes a delicious burger.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup dried bread crumbs
  • ½ small red onion grated
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 Tbsp chopped oregano
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 500 g ground lamb
  • Salt and pepper

Mix everything together in a large bowl until incorporated. Form into patties and grill on med high heat until done, about 4-5 min per side depending on thickness.

Top with Cucumber, tomato, feta, lettuce and tzatziki sauce. The meat was juicy and the tzatziki was tangy and creamy! What a great way to enjoy one of the last few days of sun!
