Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 500g beef mince
• ½ tsp (2.5ml) salt + extra
• ½ tsp (2.5ml) black pepper + extra
• 2 rounds of Feta cheese
• ¼ cup (60ml) double cream plain yoghurt
• 3 tbsp (45ml) olive oil
• A squeeze of lemon juice
• Toasted sesame burger buns, to serve
• Fresh rocket, to serve
• Cucumber ribbons, to serve
• Sliced red onion, to serve

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the beef mince, along with ½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt and ½ tsp (2.5 ml) black pepper. Mix well and divide the mince into 8 balls. Flatten each mince ball into thin burger patties.
2. Heat a large, oiled griddle pan over high heat and fry the burger patties in batches, flipping after 2-3 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
3. While the patties cook, add the feta cheese to the bowl of a food processor, followed by the yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice and season with a small pinch of salt (not too much as the feta cheese is salty) and pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth.
4. Place the bottom half of a burger bun onto a plate, smooth with some whipped feta sauce, some rocket, add a burger patty, followed by a second patty, some more rocket, cucumber ribbons and red onion.
5. Smear some more whipped feta sauce onto the top half of the bun and add to the burger.
