Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 2 tablespoons oregano
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 block of halloumi or another semi-hard cheese that can be grilled cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 1 large green cubanelle pepper
  • Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1 large scallion

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl add the meats, and the spices and mix. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil and mix further
  2. Put the meat in the fridge and let cool for half an hour
  3. Once the meat is ready, shape into 4oz patties and press a thumbprint into the center
  4. Heat up a grill to medium high heat, or you can cook the patties in a ridge lined pan in a medium high heat as well using olive oil to sauté them
  5. Cook the patties about 6 minutes on each side
  6. Once the patties are done, cover them in foil and set them aside for about 10 minutes so that they can rest
  7. Grill the halloumi, about 5 minutes on each side and set aside once done
  8. Prepare a salad using the tomatoes, olives, pepper, and scallion. I was using this as both a burger topping and side salad
  9. Assemble the burger to your liking using any condiments you choose. I topped mine with pickles and the salad I made
