Smart Seared Double Beef Patties with Smoked Paprika and Feta
with Roasted Peppers and Lemony Mayo
Merguez is a spicy sausage used in North African cuisine. It’s usually made with mutton or lamb, but we're swapping in beef and making patties in place of classic sausages. Briny feta and bright lemon add loads of flavour to both the patties and the salad.

Cooking Steps
- Add breadcrumbs, Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend, two-thirds of the Zesty Garlic Blend, half the feta and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium bowl. (TIP: If you prefer more tender patties, add an egg to mixture.) Reserve remaining feta to serve in step 6.
- Crumble in beef, then combine.
- Form mixture into four (eight) 4-inch-wide patties.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then patties. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook patties in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)
- Pan-fry until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
- Add peppers, remaining Zesty Garlic Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. Set aside.
- Transfer seared patties to the other side of the baking sheet with peppers.
- Roast in the middle of the oven until peppers are tender and patties are cooked through, 10-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Halve tomatoes.
- Add mayo, lemon zest and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon juice to a small bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. (TIP: Add a pinch of sugar to dressing, if desired.)
- Add tomatoes and spinach, then toss to combine.
- Divide patties, peppers and salad between plates.
- Sprinkle remaining feta over salad.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
- Serve lemony mayo alongside for dipping.
If you've opted for double beef, add an extra 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to the beef mixture. Form mixture into four (eight) 4-inch-wide patties.
