Lamburger

Now it's time for the main dish - the lamburger. Freshly ground lamb is readily available in most markets but if you can't find it, any ground meat such as beef or chicken can be used. The seasonings make this "Greek" so don't stress if you can't find ground lamb.

Mince two cloves garlic in the food processor then grate in one small yellow onion. Add to one pound ground lamb plus 1 teaspoon chili powder, one teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, a couple pinches of kosher salt and several turns of fresh cracked black pepper. Mix gently to combine - your hands work best - and divide into three or four equal portions, depending on how hungry you are. Cook on an indoor grill or pan fry until the burgers are medium to well done, depending on your preference. Lamb and beef can be served medium...of course cook your chicken or turkey all the way through!

TIP: GiftStashers, create a registry called Greek Food and save choices there until you're ready to buy.
