On an impulse, I purchased a tzatziki sauce and some feta
cheese a few days ago. I’ve always liked
the taste of this succulent sauce on gyros, but I didn’t know what to do with
it at home. Finally, inspiration struck.
Here are two delicious recipes.
Mediterranean-Inspired
Burgers
I cannot claim I know anything about authentic Greek food
(I really don’t!), but here is my attempt to capture some of my favorite
flavors.
Ingredients:
For the beef patties
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 Swanson Flavor Boost pack (beef)
1 egg
1/4 cup of bread crumbs
A pinch of pepper
Mix these ingredients listed above and make the burger patties. My mix yielded 5 burgers. Cook according to
your preferences.
For the burgers
Buns (of course!)
Toppings
 |
| So delicious! |
Lettuce or spinach (I used spinach)
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced cucumbers
Sliced red onions
Sliced roasted red peppers (I buy these in jars at BJ’s -
delicious!)
Feta cheese
Le Grand Tzatziki Sauce
I piled the toppings in the order listed above, though I
placed the patty on top of the feta cheese before I poured the tzatziki sauce
on it.
Additional Meal:
Chicken Wraps
 |
| Here is the miracle sauce! |
Mix rotisserie or cooked chicken with chopped red onions
and peppers, and add the tzatziki sauce to taste.
I poured a generous amount of the chicken mix on top of
lettuce and feta cheese on a wheat tortilla. Then, I tightly wrapped this
tasteful mix. Delish!
