Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground pork ((700g))
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Leaf lettuce
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup feta (crumbled)
  • 1/4 large red onion (sliced)
  • 1 large tomato (sliced)
  • 5 hamburger buns (sliced and toasted)

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, stir together the Greek spice mix and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the ground pork. Drizzle with juice of 1/2 lemon and scatter the minced garlic over-top. Sprinkle the Greek spice mix over-top. Using your hands, mix together, until the spice mix and seasoning is evenly distributed through the pork. Do not over-work.
  • Form pork mixture into 5 equal-sized patties and if time permits, place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed (allows the spices to flavour the pork).
  • Season the outside of the patties with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook pork patties on the BBQ (grease the grill), or in a little oil in a skillet or in a grill pan on the stove-top. Cook until thoroughly cooked through, until there is no pink inside and until the meat reaches an internal temperature of at least 160F. *Important to cook thoroughly.
  • Toast hamburger buns. Place some leaf lettuce on the bottom half of the bun. Top with a dollop of tzatziki sauce, then top with a cooked pork patty. Top pork patty with crumbled feta, sliced red onion and tomato slices.
