Spinach and Feta Burgers with Garlic Aioli

For the patties:

Either preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat or set an outdoor grill to medium heat. Mix together the ground sirloin, egg, garlic, feta, spinach and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Form mixture into 6 patties. Cook on the grill (or skillet) until no longer pink in the center, 10-15 minutes.

For the aioli:

In a blender or a food processor, puree garlic with egg. With the food processor or blender running, add the olive oil at a very slow, steady and thin stream. You should see the mixture start to emulsify. Add lemon juice to loosen the mixture. Once the mixture has emulsified, add kosher salt and pepper and combine for another 10 seconds. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate.

If you’d like an easier method, just add 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice and some freshly ground black pepper to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise.

Enjoy!
