Ingredients
2
orange or red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1
Golden Delicious apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1
slice firm white sandwich bread, torn into pieces
1
scallion, coarsely chopped
1/3
cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
1
large egg, lightly beaten
1/4
lb feta, crumbled (3/4 cup)
Directions
2.
Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a 2-quart nonreactive heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, uncovered, 1 minute. Add remaining relish ingredients and simmer briskly, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until peppers and apple are tender, about 25 minutes.
3.
Make patties while relish is simmering:
5.
Pulse bread, scallion, garlic, and mint in a food processor until finely chopped and add to lamb in a bowl along with egg, feta, salt, and pepper. Blend with your hands until just combined (do not overwork mixture, or patties will be tough). Form into 4 1/2-inch patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
6.
Broil patties on oiled rack of a broiler pan 5 inches from heat until browned but still slightly pink in center, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve patties with relish.
8.
Relish keeps, covered and chilled, 3 days. Reheat or serve at room temperature.
