directions
- Put the lamb, crushed garlic, mint, chopped olives, tomato puree, salt and freshly ground pepper in a mixing bowl and mix well. Divide into four portions.
- In a separate bowl, mix the feta cheese with the thyme. It doesn't matter if it crumbles, just gently squeeze together.
- Take a quarter of the mixture into your hand and roll into a ball. Flatten out, put a quarter of the feta in the middle and then draw the meat up around it.
- Make sure the cheese is secure within the meat. Repeat with the other three burgers and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the salad by mixing the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and olives together in a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Whisk the olive oil, cider vinegar and honey together and pour over the salad.
- Heat a griddle pan until hot. Rub each slice of bread with the garlic clove and sprinkle with olive oil.
- Cook the bread on the griddle pan until brown on each sides. Keep warm.
- Now cook the burgers on a griddle pan. Turn once after five minutes, then cook for another 5 minutes on the other side.
- Spread the mayonnaise on the toasted bread. Top each slice with a freshly griddled lamb burger and a small handful of salad and serve at once.
