Ingredients

For the Greek Tzatziki Sauce

  • 8 ounces Greek or whole milk yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped (or use 1 & 1/2 tsp of dried dill)
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cucumber seeds removed and very finely minced

For the Burgers

  • 15 oz tri-color beans (one can) rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium onion peeled and quartered
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomato
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled
  • ¼ cup rice cooked
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup shredded carrots
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 ½ Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup flour
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

To Make the Greek Tzatziki Sauce

  • Combine all Tzatziki Sauce ingredients in a medium glass bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before use.

To Make the Greek Veggie Burger

  • Add the beans, onion, sun-dried tomato, and garlic to a food processor and pulse until the mixture has broken down and still clumpy; you don't want a smooth paste.
  • Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cooked rice, rolled oats, shredded carrots, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well with your hands and form into 6 equal patties.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan on medium high heat. Put the flour on a plate and season it with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • Dip both sides of the patty into the flour before placing them in the hot skillet; brush off excess. Fry the patties for about 5 minutes on each side over medium heat, until each side is browned.
  • Remove the patties from the skillet and serve on rice topped with Tzatziki sauce, red onion, and additional sun-dried tomato if desired.
