1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 teaspoons curry powder
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Step 2
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season patties with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side (reduce heat if browning too quickly).
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix feta, yogurt, and remaining scallion, mashing cheese gently to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Spread 4 slices of bread with feta mixture; top with cucumbers, lamb patties, and remaining bread.

Cook's Notes

Vegetable peelers can slice as well as peel; use one along the length of a Kirby. The ribbons will stay put on a burger and ensure some crunch in each bite.

This recipe sounds delicious, as do many of the recipes here. I just wish the Nutritional information was included for these recipes. And I don't mean everything on a Nutritional label, just Calories, Carbs, and Fat would do fine.

Please do not comment if you have not made the dish. If you don't like lamb or feta or whatever, then move on!

Lamb burgers are delicious. We serve ours in pita bread with tzatziki on them and greek salad on the side.
