Greek Burgers

This is absolutely one of the best recipes I've ever found for lamb. My family just loved this and I will definitely make this again in the future!

I cut the lamb by adding an equal amount of ground beef. This way the burgers where not too lamby. I also used fennel seed instead of the fresh fennel. I was worried about my husband because he a bit of a food snob but he loved these!!!!

Wonderful flavor.

Cut this recipe in half to serve my family and it went over pretty well. I only used a quarter of a bulb of fennel (my fennel must have been huge so go with your gut instincts on this). I sauteed the fennel and shallots in some olive oil and garlic and salt/pepper until they were nice and soft. I didn't want to bite into hard bits of fennel, plus cooking the fennel mellows out the flavor. I added greek seasoning (mccormick brand) instead of just the oregano - the greek seasoning had oregano in it. Ofcourse I seasoned with salt and pepper to my liking. I always cook a tiny bit before making my patties to taste the seasonings. I served in Pita Bread. For the Aioli mayo - I always add a bit of lemon juice and salt.

Very good. Will make these again.

Pretty good. I used half a bulb of fennel, and it's just right -- complementary, not overwhelming.

These were just ok in our opinions. I think I should have omitted the fennel - personally, I found the flavor over-whelming. I had 2 bites, then passed my burger over to Husband. He picked at them, and looked generally unenthusiastic which is never a good sign. I doubt I will make these again, but thanks anyway.

Sometimes, I serve this in pita pockets with Tzatziki Sauce, and sprinkled with feta cheese.

We really enjoy Greek food - well Greek meats! lol Anyway I made this with a little variations - added some fresh chopped parsley to use some out of the garden, only used a bit of fennel seed that I ground. That added enough flavour. I didn't make the garlic/mayo sauce but bought a tzatzkik dip & used that on the bread rolls. Hubby loved it! Not your average hamberger (which I don't really eat) but this will be a mainstay in our recipe file for those lazy cooking nights!

omit fennel from meat and instead slice and grill/cook the fennel on a grill or frypan and use as you would use an onion on the burger.

start with this recipe but you'll need to doctor it...boring as is

delicious!!! love greek food and burgers, so this was a winning marriage! i added a dash of lemon juice to the meat mix and it was perfect.

I could not get ground lamb from my meat dept. so i used 1/2 lb. ground turkey and 1/2 lb lean ground beef. Other than that I followed the recipe it was fantastic! Even my hubby and kids liked it.A nice change to a plain burger!

The best burger I have ever had! I loved biting into the bits of fennel. I couldn't find ground lamb, so I used hamburger - was wonderful.

My husband and I recently did a special "cleanse" that had very selective meat requirements. Lamb was one of the options, but I'd never cooked lamb in my life. This burger was a staple for us, and we'll keep it in the rotation even now that we're back to regular food.

I made these with lean ground beef because I couldn't find lamb and added some feta to the patties. I also put some diced fennel leaves into the aioli. In the words of Jules, "Mmm-mmm! That is a tasty burger."

I didn't have fennel or shallots on hand so I used only very finely chopped red onion; otherwise made recipe as directed. These lamb burgers are great topped with tzatziki. Excellent!

Top with feta,sliced tomatoes,and red onion. I served mine on an onion bun. Too good!!
