Preparation

  2. Form the mixture into eight equal patties.
Cooking
  1. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook patties for four to five minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Make Tzatziki
  1. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate.

  1. In a separate bowl, toss sliced cucumbers and thinly sliced red onion with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Notes

Make sure to drain the cucumber well before adding it to the tzatziki. You can prep the patties a day ahead and store them in the fridge wrapped in plastic. These patties keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. You can freeze the cooked patties for up to 3 months.
