Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground venison
- 1 medium, finely chopped red onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 100 grams, crumbled feta cheese
- 50 grams, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh oregano
- 1 large, beaten egg
- 50 grams, whole grain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped parsley, and chopped oregano.
Add the beaten egg and whole grain breadcrumbs to the mixture. This will help bind the patties together.
Season the mixture with black pepper, salt, and lemon zest. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 2 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the venison patties to the skillet. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the patties are browned and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving to ensure all the juices are absorbed back into the patties.
Serve the venison patties warm with a side of fresh greens or a Mediterranean-style salad for a complete meal.
