    These gluten free Mediterranean Lamb Burgers were inspired by memories of travels to Greece. With non-traditional fixins' of tadziki, black olive mayo, arugula, feta cheese and cucumber; these burgers bring the flavours of the Mediterranean right into your backyard.

    I have a favourite collection of Greek recipes to chose from when I'm serving anything from that part of the world. With these lamb burgers I would serve an authentic Summer Salad, Beet Yogurt Salad with Walnuts, hummus or even Stuffed Peppers or Eggplants.

    • Gluten Free Mediterranean Lamb Burgers

    Ingredients

    I can buy fresh ground Alberta lamb from our local butcher and that's the only way my husband will make these burgers.

    • ground lamb
    • dried oregano
    • garlic
    • ground coriander
    • ground cumin
    • egg
    • gluten free bread or hamburger buns
    • mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
    • Kalamata olives
    • tadziki
    • red onion
    • cucumber
    • arugula

    See recipe card for exact amounts.

    Tadziki and Tapenade

    We went the extra mile and made our own tadziki but store-bought would be just fine. For the mayonnaise I mix Miracle Whip with store bought olive tapenade. The quick substitute is simply chopped olives but on occasion we make tapenade from scratch.

    Tapenade is a popular dish from the south of France containing pureed or finely chopped olives, capers, anchovies and olive oil. It should naturally be gluten free and every brand I have seen is. It is sometimes called olive paste and can be found in jars in well stocked grocery stores and specialty shops.

    When my friend came to visit from Australia I knew she would enjoy a dinner celebrating Alberta lamb so we made Grilled Lamb Burgers.
