Preparation steps
1.
For Tzatziki:
2.
Finely chop 3/4 of the cucumber; place in a strainer and squeeze out any liquid. Place on paper towels and let sit for 15 minutes. Chop remaining 1/4 cucumber and set aside.
3.
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, sour cream, garlic, herbs, vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil; mix well. Fold in finely chopped cucumbers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
4.
Prior to serving, garnish with salt, peppercorns and remaining chopped cucumber.
5.
For Hamburger:
6.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
7.
With clean hands, knead together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, pepper and crumbled feta cheese in a bowl. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized thin patties.
8.
Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 7 to 8 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
9.
To Assemble:
10.
Arrange coleslaw and chopped peppers on the bottom of the bun. Place grilled hamburger on top and spoon a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over the top of the burger. Top with remaining bun half. Serve.
