- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- ½ cup mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp heaped strained yoghurt
- 2 tsp heaped Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika, hot
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 200 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- A drizzle of olive oil
For the potatoes:

- 1 pack spicy potato wedges
For the coleslaw salad:
- 400 grams of coleslaw mix, (cabbage-carrot)
- 1 green apple, coarsely grated
- 2 Tbsp strained yoghurt
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Sea salt to taste
To serve:
- 6 sesame burger buns
- Tzatziki
Instructions
- Prepare the burgers: Add all the ingredients, except the bread and feta cheese, to a bowl. Mix well to combine. Add the bread and feta cheese and mix again. Preheat oven to 200˚C, fan. Shape 300 grams burgers, and place them on a large baking tray lined with non-stick paper. Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
- In another baking pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the potato wedges. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 30-40 minutes until crispy (see note).
- Place the vegetables for the salad in a large bowl. Add the green apple. In a medium bowl, combine all remaining ingredients and toss to coat the vegetables. Mix well.
- To serve, heat the burger buns on a grill. Brush the cut surface with 1 tablespoon full of tzatziki. Top with a burger patty. Add 1-2 tablespoons of coleslaw and top with the bun. Serve immediately with the potato wedges.
Notes
The potatoes may need a little more time in the oven. Remove the burgers and transfer the wedges to the middle rack. At this stage you can turn the oven up to 220˚ C to crisp them up.
