Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground brisket
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground brisket, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties, making an indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brisket patties and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns in a separate pan or toaster.
Once the patties are done, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble the burgers: On each bottom bun, place a handful of mixed greens, one brisket patty, a slice of tomato, a few slices of cucumber, and red onion.
Sprinkle each with an even amount of crumbled feta cheese.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
