As I woke up this morning and looked up at the bright blue skies I imagined that these are the kind of skies one would see waking up on a Greek island. So traveling off in my mind I created these Greek lamb burgers. This is a wonderfully easy and delicious recipe for the weekend braai and is suited for feeding the masses. The lamb comes from Karusaf in the Karoo and the wonderful earthy, herbaceous meat is perfect for this recipe. The burger is served with cucumber ribbons and a simple mint and yoghurt dressing. I suggest serving the burger with some Zucchini fries which makes for an interesting alternative. I paired this piece of Greek deliciousness with KWV The Mentors Grenache Blanc, one of my favorite KWV wines. Big thanks to Woolworths Paarl Mall supplying me with all my decor and prop needs!
