The ultimate pitta for anyone who loves Greek food – a Greek-style beef patty, creamy tzatziki and Greek-marinated vegetables. The perfect choice if you, like me, love Greek cooking and its flavours. Full of flavour, juicy, crisp and completely irresistible.
The vegetables are marinated in a classic Greek salad dressing, and the patty is seasoned like Greek meatballs – a dish with real punch and plenty of substance.

Method
Tzatziki
- Coarsely grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.Put the cucumber in a sieve, season with a little salt – roughly the amount you would add to the dressing anyway – and toss it with your hands. Leave the cucumber to drain for about 15 minutes, squeezing out more liquid a few times along the way.
- Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the dressing – stir the yogurt together with the crumbled feta, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Then fold in the cucumber and season the dressing with pepper and a little more salt if it needs it.Leave the tzatziki in the fridge until ready to serve.
Marinated vegetables
- Mix the ingredients for the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the pepper, red onion, cucumber, spring onions and flat-leaf parsley to the marinade and toss well.
- Toss the tomato slices in the marinade too – they go at the bottom of your pitta burger, so keep them slightly separate from the rest.Just before serving, toss the salad leaves in the marinade as well – but not too early, or they will wilt too much.
Greek beef patties
- Mix the ingredients for the patties, season with salt and pepper and stir well to combine.
- Divide the mince into 4 equal pieces and shape them into patties.
- Fry them in a little oil in a hot frying pan, or put them on the barbecue.At home we prefer them pink in the middle – but cook them to your liking.
- Meanwhile, warm the pitta breads in the oven.
Greek pitta burger
- Cut the pitta breads open along one side and spread the bottom with tzatziki.
- Top with a good handful of marinated vegetables – mostly salad leaves, as far as possible – and lay the tomato slices on top.
- Put the patty in the pitta and top with the rest of the marinated vegetables and tzatziki, and sprinkle with feta if you like.

De ser hjemmelavet ud de pita er de det
Hejsa
Til denne opskrift er jeg ret sikker på jeg brugte pita fra Smag forskellen (Kvickly) – fra frost:)
Dbh Dianna
Smagte såååå godt! Tak for alle dine lækre opskrifter ⭐️
Hej Louise
Tusind tak for din dejlige besked, – hvor er det dejligt at høre 🙂
Rigtig god weekend 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Du skriver at tzatziki skal blandes med bla feta. Men det står ikke i ingrediens-liste eller er det bare mig. Lyder ellers lækkert. Er vild med dine opskrifter
Hej Caroline
Arh, det er rettet nu:)
Dressingen kan dog sagtens laves uden hvis man foretrækker det:)
Tusind tak for de søde ord, og rigtig god weekend:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Du skriver under tzatzikien, at fetaen smuldres i. Men du har altså ikke angivet, at der skulle feta i under ingredienserne. Kun i bøffen.
Hej Susanne
Det er hermed rettet, tak fordi du skrev det:)
Fetaen i dressingen er valgfri, men jeg synes det smager rigtig godt når det skal bruges til denne ret:)
Rigtig god weekend:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
