My mint is coming back in the garden. Every year I wonder if it will survive our harsh Alberta winter but somehow it does. Spring lamb is at the markets. Goats are kidding and that means there’s milk to make feta cheese. Put that all together and I found myself craving these Feta Stuffed Lamb Burgers.
The burger’s spice mix has cumin and oregano brightened by fresh mint and a little diced jalapeño. It’s perfect with a Chunky Tzatziki. I’ll share that recipe next but for now, read on for this succulent burger recipe.
