Greek Style Spinach and Feta Burgers

Yum
I am not very adventurous when it comes to cheese.  I like the basics: mozzarella, Parmesan, cheddar, American, Swiss.  But anything with mold or a fancy stinky cheese is not something I go for at all.  I consider feta cheese adventurous in my book. :)  I bought some feta cheese recently and then I realized that I better find a recipe to use it up before it became a moldy stinky cheese.    I decided to make a Greek style burger and this is what I came up with... kind of like a burger meets a spanakopita.

Ingredients:
1lb ground beef or lamb (lean)
1 cup fresh baby spinach chopped
1 Tbs finely minced mint
1 tsp finely minced fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp dried
1 Tbs finely minced fresh parsley
1/2 small red onion chopped small
salt and black pepper to taste ( I used McCormick burger seasoning)
1-2 cloves of garlic grated

Sauce:
2-3 Tbs mayo
1 Tbs sriracha
salt and black pepper
2 Tbs of feta 


Directions:
Finely chop spinach,onions, mint, oregano and parsley.  Add it to the ground meat with the, grated garlic, feta cheese, salt and black pepper.
Make four equally sized burgers.  Try to make the center thinner so the burger cooks evenly.  Cook for several minutes on each side with some a little oil in a skillet or cast iron pan.   Make sauce if your desire. Serve in burger bun with more feta cheese and cucumbers. Enjoy.

Note:  My husband and kids ate it with a bun, I ate this burger with a salad for a low carb meal option.

Here is a burger  cooking guide from: http://www.cookscountry.com/how-to/burgers/

  3. Oh my gosh, I'm drooling.If this is the kind of dish you pull together because you're afraid of feta going stinky, I'm sending you a pound of roquefort. :)

  13. I fully support you in this proper culinary solution. By itself, cheese and other products from it are delicious. Cheese with mold and other newfangled things are just disgusting.

  14. Oh yeah. I love burgers. And not for the fact that they are deliciously delicious. And not for the fact that they are popular throughout the world. And not because they have a small price. I just like to eat meat.

  15. Comparative politics may be defined in about one hundred ways but it simply refers to the systematic study of organizations, political institutions, processes and behavior. The comparative politics essay is an interesting essay which implies a lot of interesting issues on policy and interesting for discussion.

  18. I really like to eat. Cooking is my hobby. I even wrote an article about it. I found how do college professors check for plagiarism. It helps me write different essays and articles.
