Ingredients:

Serving

6 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 tsp minced fresh oregano
2 tsp fresh rosemary
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 lb ground lamb or beef
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp sugar
4 tbsp olive oil, divided
4 kaiser or other sandwich rolls
1 large tomato, sliced
1/4 medium english cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
8 romaine lettuce leaves

Directions:

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.
Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above cooking grate only 3 to 4 seconds). Grill burgers, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through (cut to test), 10 to 12 minutes total.
Split rolls and toast cut sides on the grill. Brush toasted sides with remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil and spread each with about 1 tsp. of the olive spread. Top with burgers, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and romaine.
