Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb ground lamb 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio preferred
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat
- 0.5 cup English cucumber grated and squeezed dry
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp kosher salt divided
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
- 4 units brioche buns halved
- 0.5 unit red onion thinly sliced into rings
- 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1 cup baby arugula rinsed and dried
Notes
For best flavor, let the lamb mixture chill for 30 minutes before forming patties. Store leftover tzatziki in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you don't have a grill, these can be prepared in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat using the same timings.
