Ingredients
- 500g beef mince
- ½ tsp (2.5ml) salt + extra
- ½ tsp (2.5ml) black pepper + extra
- 2 rounds of Feta cheese
- ¼ cup (60ml) double cream plain yoghurt
- 3 Tbsp (45ml) olive oil
- A squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the beef mince, along with ½ tsp (2.5ml) salt and ½ tsp (2.5ml) black pepper. Mix well and divide the mince into 8 small balls. Flatten each mince ball into thin burger patties.
- Heat a large, oiled griddle pan over high heat and fry the burger patties in batches, flipping after 2-3 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
- While the patties cook, add the Feta cheese to the bowl of a food processor, followed by the yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice and season with a small pinch of salt (not too much as the Feta cheese is salty) and pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth.
- Place the bottom half of a burger bun onto a plate, smooth with some whipped Feta sauce, some rocket, add a burger patty, followed by a second patty, some more rocket, cucumber ribbons and red onion.
- Smear some more whipped Feta sauce onto the top half of the bun and add to the burger.
