BURGER RECIPES

OLIVE OIL HAMBURGERS

1 lb good quality lean ground meat

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 -3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon horseradish (optional but good)

1 Chop garlic

2 Add salt and olive oil and make a paste.

3 Add this to the meat along with the Worcestershire and horseradish.

4 Mix everything and adjust ingredients to suit your taste.

5 When you make the patties place an indention in the middle of each one with your thumb (almost all the way through). This keeps the burgers from shrinking. We like ours thick and I like them to stay that way!

6 Salt and Pepper according to taste when done.

2 lbs ground beef

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup tomato, chopped

2 tablespoons red onions, chopped

2 tablespoons ripe olives, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

6 whole gyro style pita bread (6 inches)

6 lettuce leaves

6 slices tomatoes

1 small seedless cucumber, sliced

1/3 cup cucumber ranch salad dressing

GREEK HAMBURGERS
