I Think I've Killed My Tastebuds

Everything tastes really bland to me lately. I bought this ground lamb a while back with some vague idea about Shepherds Pie but it sat in the back of my freezer until the Epicure Greek With Gusto cookbook came along.

Gyro Burgers with Tzaziki

Made the tzaziki the night before with a grated and drained cucumber, about 2 cups of Balkan yogurt and a couple or three tablespoons of Epicure Tzaziki Dip Mix. Even this seemed a little bland to me, I added a little more tonight and I'll see how it tastes in the morning. Anyway, on to the burgers.

1 cup soft white breadcrumbs (I ran a crusty roll through the food processor)
2 T lemon juice
2 T water
2 tsp VE Hummus Dip Mix
1 tsp VE Lamb Seasoning
1 T VE Toasted Onion (I used a quarter of a red onion chopped up).
1/2 t VE Cinnamon (I used Non-VE Cinnamon)
1 lb lean ground lamb

These are supposed to be served in pita pockets with tomato and red onion. I served them on crusty buns topped with Tzaziki and chopped tomato. I totally forgot about the onion.

Oh yeah, my FGF moment was when I thought to chop up a bunch of feta and stuff it into the middle of the burger before putting them in the George Foreman Grill (yeah, really. Hey, I live in an apartment, I can't have a barbecue!).

Final vote? I would make them again. I think with a little tweaking, this might be a damned fine little meal.
