- 12 ounces ground lamb

- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon American Lamb Seasoning
- 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
- 5 1/2 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/3 cup feta cheese with herbs
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon American Lamb Spice Blend
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 Kaiser rolls
- 1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
- shredded iceberg lettuce
- sliced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp French-fried onions
Method
Step 1
Make the Cucumber Raita- In a bowl, add the diced cucumber, Greek yogurt and dill and blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can make the Cucumber Raita ahead of time, keep covered in the fridge.
Step 2
Make the Burgers, Garnish and Serve- Heat the oven to 350. Brush the top of each Kaiser roll with melted butter and sprinkle with the the poppy seeds. Brush the bottom rolls with the melted butter. Place the rolls on a cookie sheet and toast in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Combine all of the burger ingredients in a bowl and thoroughly mix to combine. Form the burgers into thick patties. Heat the olive oil in a heavy cast-iron grill pan over medium heat and cook the burgers until done, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Step 4
While the burgers rest, make the Feta Fondue. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the feta and cream cheese and let it melt. Season with the lamb spice blend and season with salt and pepper. If the fondue is too thick, thin with a little milk.
Step 5
To assemble the burgers, add some shredded lettuce on the bottom bun, then a layer of sliced tomatoes. Spoon some chopped Cucumber Raita on the top of the tomatoes. Spoon some warm feta fondue over the top of the burger, sprinkle with crumbled feta, then garnish with fried onions and add the top bun.
