No need to wait until grilling season to make these delicious burgers. As an alternative, pan-fry them in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until cooked to your desired doneness. Serve the burgers on whole wheat rolls with lettuce and tomatoes, if you like.

Ingredients
- 6 ounces drained feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1/4 small red onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pound ground lamb
Method
In a medium bowl, combine feta, olives, onion, oregano, salt and pepper.
Add lamb and, with your hands or two forks, lightly bring all the ingredients together, taking care not to overwork the mixture.
Form into 6 patties of even thickness.
Transfer to a lined baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Cook the burgers, flipping once, until cooked to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium.
