Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, you can add feta cheese to the beef mixture or substitute ground lamb for a more traditional Greek taste. If you're out of fresh peppermint, dried mint can work in a pinch, but use less as it's more concentrated. To ensure even cooking, make patties of uniform size.
Serving Suggestions
These beef patties are delicious served over spaghetti or linguini, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Pair with a fresh green salad, Greek black olives, and garlic bread for a complete meal. For a Mediterranean twist, consider serving with a side of Antipasto Salad Bowl for added flavor and variety.
