You sound like my wife before she rediscovered that she loves meat.
I say to veggie burgers! If it's made of veggies, it sure as hell ain't a burger!
oh contrair mon frair A burger or "burger sandwich" is a type of sandwich which consists of a hamburger bun or similar type of round bread, and a primary filling of a meat or vegetarian patty. The word "burger" is an abbreviation of the word "hamburger"
key word HAM...which is a meat...so HAMburger=MEATburger=NO VEGGIES

2 1/2 lbs. ground lamb 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce 1 c. minced onion 1 c. chopped green pepper 1/2 c. fine dry bread crumbs 2 eggs 1/4 c. fresh chopped mint leaves 2 tsp. black pepper 2 tsp. dried oregano 2 tsp. dried basil 1 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cloves garlic, minced
Put everything into large bowl and massage the meat with bare hands for 5 minutes. Then put meat into an oiled loaf pan. Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 90 minutes. Let cool and pour off liquid. Serve in pita bread or in sandwiches. Season with cayenne pepper, sour cream, tomato, etc.
Here's another recipe that is a little more simple and tasty. 1 lb. ground lamb 1 lg. clove garlic, pressed 2 tsp. lemon juice 1/2 tsp. basil 1/4 tsp. marjoram 1/2 tsp. thyme 1/2 tsp. rosemary 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper 1/8 c. snipped parsley 6 pita pockets 2 tomatoes, chopped 2 onions, chopped
SAUCE:
16 oz. sour cream 1 med. cucumber, pureed (puree in blender & strain to remove liquid) 2 cloves garlic, pressed 1/4 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. sugar
Combine first ten ingredients in large bowl; blend. Place mixture in skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until meat is browned. Drain off excess drippings. Combine sour cream, cucumber, garlic, salt and sugar in bowl. Blend well. Cut pita pockets in half; spoon in meat mixture, top with tomatoes and onions. Spoon sauce over each sandwich and serve immediately. Makes 6 servings. Makes a good main course served over rice.
I'm impressed. I'm partners in a Greek-Italian restaurant and we don't even make our own gyro meat. We do make a kick ass tzatziki sauce though. The recipe is similar to yours in the sense that it is sour cream based. Actually, I'm not partners in it anymore. I just finished up my last shift and as of tonight I am semi-retired/unemployed. On to bigger and better things.
Wow, I remember you talking about your restaurant quite often. I was actually going to take a stop by at some point, just kept forgetting to ask you where it was. Congrats on your last shift, and here's to bigger and better things.
Thanks. 11 years at the same gig is a record for me.
I'm taking a whole lot of time off before I actually get another job or take on another venture. I've been organizing my recipes and plan on writing a cookbook. Also, I plan on taking some voice lessons and see if I can get some work as a voice actor doing commercials. Eventually I'd love to be a voice for an animated character. I think I'll stay away from the food service industry even though I'm always getting offers to manage restaurants. One of my customers is practically begging me to be his partner in a restaurant in Boyton Beach. Think I'll pass.
It's an exciting period in my life b/c there is an unknown element to it.
