Method

Prepare the Burger

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced parsley, and finely chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Top with Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the patties and cover to melt the cheese.

Prepare the Fries

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 6

    Season the Fries

    Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt. Stir until well combined.

  2. 9

    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Hummus

  1. 10

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine drained chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.

  2. 11

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 12

    Assemble

    Spread a generous amount of hummus on each pita bread, place a burger patty on top, and close the pita. Serve with fries and tzatziki sauce on the side.
