Feta Oregano Burgers

Ingredients:

½ pound lean ground beef
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh oregano
¼ tsp chili powder
1 tsp honey
salt and pepper to taste

Muck it all together: sorry, gotta use your hands for this. Yeah, it’s a mess, but it’s worth it.

Shape it into two patties and fry it in a good old fashioned cast iron skillet.

Serve on a whole wheat hamburger bun with the usual condimental accessories.

Serves two.

I love the mix of flavors in this. This is a small recipe: two modest, quarter-pound burgers, but the flavors really pop here. This is one time where dried oregano just won't do as a substitute for the fresh: it isn't a spice, it's an ingredient. I served this with fresh squeezed pink grapefruit juice and it was a big hit.
