Ingredients
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 sprig fresh mint
, chopped
1 sprig fresh parsley
, chopped
Instructions
1
Make the spread: Stir feta cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, mint, and parsley together in a small bowl. Set aside until needed.
2
Make the burgers: Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3
Cut bell pepper in half from top to bottom; remove stem, seeds, and ribs. Place pepper onto the prepared baking sheet with the cut sides facing down.
4
Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin has blackened and blistered, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer pepper halves to a paper bag to cool and steam, about 5 minutes.
5
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
6
Peel and discard bell pepper skin. Dice flesh and place into a large bowl.
7
Add ground beef, spinach, feta, bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, mint, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper; mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Form meat mixture into four 4 1/2-inch-diameter patties.
8
Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
9
Serve burgers on warm rolls with feta cheese spread, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce.
