Ingredients

6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb or beef
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/4 medium English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
8 romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

In a bowl, combine feta cheese, oregano, rosemary, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and the lemon zest. Add ground meat and mix gently. Form into four 1-in.-thick patties.
In a blender, whirl olives, dill, parsley, lemon juice, sugar, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper. Add 3 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. at a time, to make a smooth paste.
