I guess that the nearest I can come to comparing this is to a fish cake, you're looking to get a nice crispy outer shell with a soft moist center.
Feta cheese is Greek in origin and most typically made from ewe's milk although in some areas of Greece there the addition of a percentage of goats milk is permitted.
Salty in taste and crumbly in texture you can pick it up in most supermarkets these days although if you really want the real thing then do beware packs that look similar and are labeled something like "Greek style cheese". These have a similar flavor and texture but more often than not they are made from cows milk.
TIP - As with all my vegetarian ideas I do recommend a Teflon® barbecue mat to keep the vegetarian barbecue area free from contamination with other meat products and also as a good way to stop the food from disappearing into the coals.
The Teflon coating on the mat stops the burger from sticking and so makes flipping that much easier and prevents breakup.
Ingredients:-
- 500g or 1¼lb potatoes
- 115g or 4 oz feta cheese
- 4 spring onions chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
Method:-
Boil the potatoes for 20 mins and mash them - just break them up, don't make mashed potato.
TIP - It's important that the potatoes are quite dry so you can boil them in their skins, leave them to cooland then peel and mash them.
Crumble the feta cheese into the mash and add in the rest of the indredients. Give it a quick mix and allow to cool.
When the mix is cool, make sure that everything is properly mixed and then you can set to making your patties.
Grill over high heat until the patties have warmed through and are browning slightly to give that crispiness to the outside.
It's got to be a Greek salad and tzaziki to accompany.
