This burger—stuffed with roasted bell peppers and spinach—carries Greek flavors in every bite. We've topped it with a tomato slice, lettuce leaves, and our low-fat version of the garlicky French mayonnaise aioli (ay-OH-lee) made more flavorful by adding feta cheese. Ingredients:
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese |
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons plain fat-free yogurt |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
5 (1/2-inch-thick) slices red onion |
cooking spray |
1 pound lean ground round |
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs |
1/3 cup chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper |
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
5 (1 1/2-ounce) sourdough sandwich buns |
Directions:
1. To prepare aioli, combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor; pulse 1 minute or until smooth. Cover and chill.
2. Prepare grill or broiler.
3. To prepare the burgers, place onion slices on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.
4. Combine the beef and the next 9 ingredients (beef through crushed garlic) in a large bowl. Divide the beef mixture into 5 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place patties on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook for 6 minutes on each side or until burgers are done. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons aioli over top half of each bun. Place patties on bottom halves of buns, and top each with 1 onion slice and top half of bun.
