Method

Follow these cooking methods/directions:

1. Combine oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano and hot pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Transfer 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the oil mixture to another medium bowl for the yogurt sauce; set aside. Add roasted red pepper slices to remaining oil mixture; toss to combine. Let peppers marinate for 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, add yogurt, feta, salt and pepper to reserved oil mixture and stir until blended; set aside for serving.

3. Make a thumbprint depression in centre of each burger (to prevent puffing while grilling). Grill burgers on oiled grill in a closed preheated barbecue over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) for 10 to 14 minutes for ¾ inch (2 cm) thick burgers, turning twice or more, or until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each burger reads 160°F (71°C).

4. Meanwhile, grill buns, cut sides down, on barbecue for 30 to 60 seconds or until well-marked and toasted.

5. Place grilled burgers on bun bottoms. Top with yogurt-feta sauce, marinated roasted red pepper slices, arugula and bun tops.
