How to Make Grilled Athenian Burger
When is a burger not just a burger? You’ll soon find out after trying this version. You may substitute 50% lamb for beef in this recipe as well. I sometimes spike this recipe with crushed red chili flakes or a minced Serrano chili because I’m a spicy food freak.
Note—The Nutrition Facts information for this recipe is for the burger patty and suggested toppings only.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal parts and form 4 burgers. Place on a plate and refrigerate until ready for grilling.
- Spray grill or stove-top grill pan with high- heat olive or canola oil spray. Heat grill to high temperature (450–500°F).
- Grill burgers for approximately 6–8 minutes. Turn and repeat process for an additional 4–5 minutes. Check for doneness with a thermometer. Internal temperature should be about 160°F as they will continue to cook for a few minutes.
- Top with fresh romaine leaves, sliced tomatoes, and red onion on a whole-grain bun or wrapped in a pita.
