Maybe add a bit of goat cheese with the feta to help loosen the mix and add a bit more tang, also a squeeze of fresh lemon instead of the olive oil to lighten things up? Dunno but sounds good to me! All in, this look delicious!!
Being married to a full blooded greek, my wife and I watched this and loved the recipe idea. The comment she made is to add a little bit of dill and parsley in the lamb. That should take it too being great. Keep up the great videos.
Dude, amazing as always!!!! I do a similar burger where i season the lamb like gyro meat, sear the burger, slice it and then sear the slices and pile it on a bun or load it in a pita! Whipped feta was killer man!
tzatziki is one of my favorite potato chip dips, right up there with onion dip, can't see how you can go wrong by adding feta. That burger looked great, I haven't had a lamb burger in more than a decade. Might pick some up for the weekend.
@@TheFlatTopKing I make tzatziki from scratch every couple weeks so I'd use that instead of the store bought versions, which are great by the way I use them here and there. I just go for a lot more of garlic than they use, a lot more garlic I like it to get spicy from the amount of garlic I put in so home made for me usually. And I'd probably use pickled red onions for my onions. Other than that no changes.
Half lamb and beef mix in oregano,garlic a little lemon juice salt pepper and feta crumbles and make smash burgers top with tomato and red onion and Tzatzki this is my gryro burger recipe..
Hey Neil and Amy, nice one. Here in El Paso different meats are hard to find and most of it sucks. Anyway my point was i love more different proteins then most pple so it’s looking really good to me. Just a suggestion is try some street tacos which are famous around here ok.
Looks good! IMHO...I'd like to see you do a 50% lamb, 25% beef and 25% sausage mix on the burger with a little seasoning in the burger as well. Great job!
I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of lamb, so I’d substitute something else maybe a meatloaf mix, but that’s just me. Everything else I’d definitely try especially the whipped feta. But like the thought process you go through for each of your videos. Very creative, fun to watch and learn something too! Cheers brother!
Looks awesome as usual. I have to say though, do you ever have a full jar of mayo? Every one I've ever seen in your videos are nearly empty. lol. I guess that happens when you cook a lot. Keep up the incredible recipes!
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us, you and your wife are the best! Quick question. When you add butter with your avocado oil like when cooking eggs, is it real butter or margarine or does either way work.
real butter....margarine has a lot of water in it...when putting on the griddle it will bubble way to much and steam as well until the water is gone then the fats will burn as well because its not made for high heat cooking
yeah its taking a beating...surface is still strong This is definitely a hot button topic… And my answer would be that you have to use metal utensils AT YOUR OWN RISK. The actual Pit Boss Ultimate griddle manual says “non-metallic utensils”. I know of a handful of Ultimate griddle owners that have been using metal utensils on their griddles for a while and they’ve said that there hasn’t been any damage… but like I said, you have to use at your own risk - I’m sure that Pit Boss probably won’t replace your griddle top for you if you damage it with metal utensils. Also, there’s a difference in the types of metal spatulas... my preferred spatula has rounded edges and does NOT have the sharp beveled edges all around. That’s the spatula that I like for my other griddles as well. I would never use a square ended, beveled edge spatula on mine. Also, you’ll notice that I still use a wooden scraper/spatula to actually scrape down the griddle surface (NOT a metal bench scraper like I use on my other griddles). So the short answer is use metal at your own risk, and if you decide to use metal on yours, be careful about which metal utensils you’re using and how you use them on the surface.
Hey guys another great video. I know you said that you have a Facebook page that you share ideas… I don’t do the social media thing but I would love to share ideas with you. Is there any other way that I can get involved?
I hear that lamb dishes don't rank high on YT. So sad because it is incredible. I see nothing wrong with these burgers. But personal preference, a char would definitely help for my taste, and some kind of hotter pepper. Cheers.
Interesting you say that Because its been one of the feest videos in forever.....I just thought it was that time of the year....we had a person say they have already put up there griddle for the year
Brother you and me both...honestly smoked mac and cheese refrigerated then cut out and breaded and deep fried to with chunks of more cheese to place on a burger
I have a lot of ideas but no way to implement them at the moment. I really enjoy your channel so i share my ideas with you. I hope to have a channel myself in the future. My brain is strange, when i see or taste a dish my brain shoots off in various directions in which the dish could be made different.
How about smoking half pound steakhouse burgers on the pellet smoker, probably up to an internal temp of 150 or so, then a sear on a very hot flat top / cast iron / live fire, which would hopefully bring it up to right around 165.
@@TheFlatTopKing I typically take ground beef to the USDA Minimum, but I’ve eaten medium burgers before. You can finish at whatever temp you like, I was just trying to say a reverse sear after an indirect cook tends to add about 10-20 degrees to the internal temp depending on how you do it and what you’re searing, etc.
I use ground lamb for burgers, meatloaf, savory phyllo pies, and so many other things. My usual lamb burgers have feta mixed in with the meat. Well, the other day I did on my BS and feta cheese takes ALOT of scraping to get it off the griddle. I apologized to my BS by cooking a pound of bacon the next morning.
Personally, I think the lamb needed some more herbs and a spicy element like harissa. The spice would be cooled down by the feta/tzatziki mixture while bringing some depth. Just my .02.
Well i think your right...good not great. the meat just missed something extra and I was worried about over doing it but it definitely could have used it
@@TheFlatTopKing Understood. It looked good and I knew it tasted as such. I get you wanting it to be next level. I’m the same way so I get it. Can’t wait to see when you discover the missing element. Keep up the great work!
Yeah I still have it...we are going to do.....i go ya...Amy went grocery shopping with out me and honestly I completely forgot I had it...we made a shopping list and that was on there...i didnt think one time about making actual tzatziki because in my mind I only needed so little...and I remembered telling her we didnt need it because we will make whipped feta...only to buy it anyway

Those lamb burgers looked heavenly 👑.

Gonna try it this weekend! Love lamb ,feta, ant tzatziki!
Looks pretty damn good to me. I like the departure from the normal burger toppings. Very Greek.
thanks James
I've had lamb chops, and shank, but never ground. Gotta give it a try.
That’s awesome Neil, never had lamb. Looked delicious for sure, Cheers 🍻
Cheers brother
Looks good. When I did my meatball gyros. They rocked.
Absolutely....
Looks great to me. I love lamb - I'll take it. Great job!!!
Terry my man....how have you been,...

Hey thats a great idea....make greek lamb burgers like greek meatballs and slice thin like the greek meat...love it..thanks Paul
Look delicious, love it when you make execution decision , mine doesn’t carry as much weight as yours lol thanks for sharing.

Not much of a lamb eater, but would try it this way at least once.
Had lamb chops last night.....we like the whole better then the ground...the sirloins are incredible

well that does sound great...no doubt
Oh and cavenders of course..
@@johnhowaniec5979 👊
The lemon juice is the key to it all it enhances the flavor of the lamb to a mouth watering smack your grandma 👵 flavors!!
@@johnhowaniec5979 yeah i agree...i was worried about over doing it....looking back it needed this
Looks tasty! I agree a bit of char might give you that extra something you’re after. Maybe try a smoked meatball version on your grill?

Maybe this would be one time you cook on a higher heat setting to get that crust quicker? Just a thought I had.
Great 🍔

Add lemon zest, cracked pepper and parsley to the burger patties, makes them more authentically Greek and flavourful
Thanks bud...i think the lemon would have been key....
Looks like the PB is well used......is the surface holding up? Noticed your use of meal spatula.....what say you?
yeah its taking a beating...surface is still strong

@@TheFlatTopKing Thank you.........With Fall here - lots of sales on flat tops - and I appreciate the details you've given me. Thanks...
Try a feta and goat cheese blend to dial up tangy and lose the grocery store sesame bun. I would do that burger on a toasted ciabatta.
Some kalamata maybe som pickled turnip, think of gyros. Think the char of a charcole grill also.

I think a good smoked mac and cheese type casserole might be interesting. Like cheeseburger mac and cheese
Brother you and me both...honestly smoked mac and cheese refrigerated then cut out and breaded and deep fried to with chunks of more cheese to place on a burger
Definitely! Or mix in minced jalapeños aand just eat the fried smoked mac and cheese

hahahahahaha the great equalizer...1 lb of bacon....its like flowers to my wife...just makes everything better
Lamb burger without mint and red onion? I’m British and over here this burger would be illegal, especially in Wales haha
Try this lamb burger on a Ciabatta bread or a Sourdough bread. These two bread types compliment the lamb burger very well.
Thanks for the tip!
If you were to make a FB group page for pellet smokers. I would follow you.
Well I appreciate that....hopefully one day....I just dont film or cook enough to make that the focus right now....but heck you never know
What are my other options if I don't eat lamb?
Beef....maybe ground pork or a mix of the two...not ground sausage though...
How about a grilled cheese sandwich
ua-cam.com/video/cFznXpsAKMc/v-deo.html
Maybe make the burger on the pellet grill
Definitely needed something extra
Maybe a bit of smoke from the pellet grill is they missing ingredient or some liquid smoke on the griddle
I think Dill would put it over the Top
