Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 hrs 5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and minced garlic until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Chill time: 60 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Preheat your grill to high heat, ensuring the grates are clean. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

In a large bowl, gently combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, diced fennel bulb, minced shallots, oregano, and salt. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough burgers. Form the mixture into 8 equally sized patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Season each patty generously with freshly ground black pepper. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the burgers on the hot grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once, until they are cooked through and have a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C). (Cook time: 6-10 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Serve the Greek Burgers immediately on toasted hamburger buns, topped with the chilled garlic mayonnaise. Garnish with extra fennel fronds, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground lamb and beef.
Feel free to add other Greek-inspired ingredients to the burger mixture, such as crumbled feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, or sun-dried tomatoes.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour.
Serve with a side of Greek salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
