Tomato, Onion & Goat Cheese Pie

This is no quiche - not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just a wonderful collection of simple ingredients that you'll love. My teenager had friends over one day when I was making this and they all ate it. All of it. Here's what they said:

Nick: "Sam at the top of his game." John: "It was a loped out dank piece of pie." Dean: "It was a gnarly chill pie." Josh: "It's a creeped out danky piece of dank cheese pie."

You can see how moved they were. Maybe you should try it for yourself.

• 3 large red onions, sliced thin
• 3-4 large ripe tomatoes, in 1/4 inch slices

Feta Stuffed Lamb Burgers

Makes 4 Burgers

A different version of the typical grilled burger.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1/2 red onion, diced small
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped fine
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves, chopped fine
• 1/2 teaspoon each Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
• 1 piece Feta cheese, big enough to get four 3/4 inch square blocks

Directions

1. Heat your grill outside to high
2. Put the lamb, onion, mint, oregano, salt & pepper into a bowl and mix really well
3. Separate lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties using the feta squares as the center - get it?
4. Grill until done and evenly cooked - the cheese might leak a bit - if so, no big deal
5. I like to serve them without a bun
