Ingredients

Burger

• 1/2 pound ground lamb

• 1/2 pound ground beef

• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon cumin powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 large russet potato, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces, sprinkled with oil and salt

• 1 large tomato, sliced

• 2 ounces arugula

• 4 Kaiser rolls or whole wheat burger buns

Mayonnaise

• 1/2 cup light mayonnaise

• 3 tablespoons fresh basil, finely minced

• 1 teaspoon fresh mint, finely minced

• 1 lemon, zest, and juice

• 1 clove of garlic, minced

• Pinch each of salt and ground black pepper

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, whisk all of the mayonnaise ingredients together until well blended. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve the burgers.

2. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Mix the ground meats, cheese, egg, and spices together well and form into 4 patties. Grill the burgers and sliced potatoes for about 4 minutes on each side until the meat is cooked to desired doneness and the potatoes are tender. Assemble each burger on a bun with grilled potato slices, tomato slices, about half an ounce of arugula, and top with lemon basil mayonnaise.

Serving Suggestion

Carry on the Mediterranean-inspired theme with a sun-dried tomato pasta salad or freshly sliced tomatoes and shredded basil with a drizzle of fruity olive oil.
