Lamb Feta Patties

Serves 6 for a snack. Put 50g (2oz) sundried diced tomatoes, 500g (18oz) lean lamb mince, 1 tsp oregano, half diced red onion, 200g (7oz) diced feta cheese into a bowl & mix well. Divide in 6 & shape into patties. Chill 30 mins, then grill 10 mins turning once. Toast burger buns & place a pattie on top.  Freezeable if  you only want one.

To make into a main meal serve with:
Greek Feta salad
In a large serving bowl use your hands to mix together 450g(1lb) fresh large beefsteak tomatoes (cut into chunks), 1 peeled & thick sliced red onion. 1 small sliced cucumber, 1 small deseeded & thickly sliced red & green pepper, 1 tbsp flat-leafed parsley, 10 black olives, juice of 1 lemon, 5 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp red wine vinegar. Season with freshly ground salt & pepper then carefully fold 250g (8oz) feta cheese broken into large chunks (try not to crumble it as it will take on too much oil & vinegar). Serve with warm pitta bread.
Good with lamb, chicken or fish.

Feta cheese is fairly low in fat – 20% compared to regular cheddar (33%) & cream cheese (49%).
