Recipe: The Greek burger

For the next burger in the series, we went to Greece.  In many ways, it revolved around the ever popular souvlaki platter, and was no less satisfying.  Considering everything involved, it was a surprisingly light endeavor in the eating, and quite healthy to boot.  In our excitement, we forgot to take a picture - forgive us - but in all likelihood this burger was worth a trip down memory lane in the future and we'll get one then.  The breakdown was as follows.


The Greek burger:

 - bun - thick style pita split horizontally and toasted with garlic butter
 - patty - marinated and grilled chicken breast - olive oil
                                                                          - lemon zest
                                                                          - oregano
                                                                          - thyme
                                                                          - rosemary
 - cheese - feta (toasted onto the chicken in the salamander)
 - greens - shredded spinach
 - sauces - bottom bun - hummus
               - top bun - tzatziki
 - relish - Greek "salsa" - brunoise - red onion
                                                       - tomato
                                                       - red pepper
                                                       - cucumber
                                                       - kalamata olives
                                      - olive oil
                                      - red wine vinegar
