THYME AND FETA LAMBURGERS WITH AVOCADO AIOLI RECIPE
1 lb.
ground lamb
½ tbsp.
fresh thyme, minced
1 clove
garlic, grated
¼ cup
feta cheese, finely crumbled
Pinch
red chili flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup
greek herb style salad dressing

Avocado Aioli
½
ripe avocado
½ cup
mayonnaise
¼ cup
sour cream or plain greek yogurt
2 cloves
garlic, grated
2 tbsp.
feta cheese, finely crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
- Get the lamb meat as cold as you can without it being frozen. In a bowl, combine the thyme, garlic, feta cheese, red chili flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Use your hands to mix the meat with the other ingredients well.
- Divide the meat into 4 equal portions, then using the Napoleon Burger Press Kit make 4 patties. Arrange them on a baking sheet with waxed paper and chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- While your burgers are chilling out, use a blender or food processor to combine the avocado, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, and feta until the mixture is smooth. Taste test, when the blade has stopped moving, and add salt and pepper to taste. Blitz again to combine. Set the Avocado Aioli aside in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
- Preheat the grill to 400°F, oil the grids.
- Grill the Lamburgers over direct heat for about 5 to 10 minutes per side. Basting every time you flip. For bonus flavor, brush the buns with the herby dressing and grill them until golden and toasty too.
- Assemble your Lamburgers with all of your favorite toppings like lettuce, onions, cheese and don’t forget to top it all off with the Avocado Aioli that you made too.
