Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Mix the ground lamb, ground beef, mint, ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl until just combined. Divide evenly into four portions and shape in to large patties. Set aside. Mix Greek yogurt, lemon zest, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; cover and refrigerate.
- Cook the lamb and beef patties on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place the slices of onion and green tomato on the grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 1 minute on each side.
- Spread yogurt sauce over the sliced ciabatta rolls. Assemble each burger by placing the patty on the the roll, and dividing the feta cheese slices over the patties. Top with a slice of grilled tomato, grilled onion, and 2 leaves of arugula, followed by the top half of the roll.

Steps:
- Cut each pita bread in half, crosswise, to form a pocket. Wrap pitas in foil and warm in a 300 degree oven while preparing burgers.
- Make sauce by combining yogurt, cucumber, and lemon juice to serve as a sauce.
- Thoroughly combine remaining ingredients by gently kneading with your fingers. Shape into 8 1/2-inch thick, oval patties to accommodate the pita halves. Barbecue or broil, leaving them a little pink in the middle keeps the burgers from tasting dry.
- Let your diners fill each pita half with a burger and choices of sliced pickles, tomatoes, and red onion,then a dollop of sauce.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the buns. 2. BBQ on direct, medium heat for 8 to 12 minutes depending on how done you want them, turning once halfway.
Tips:
- Use high-quality lamb. Look for ground lamb that is fresh and has a good fat content (at least 20%). This will ensure that your burgers are juicy and flavorful.
- Season the lamb well. Use a variety of spices and herbs, such as cumin, coriander, oregano, and mint, to give your burgers a delicious flavor.
- Don't overmix the lamb. Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Just mix the lamb until it is evenly combined.
- Form the burgers gently. Use your hands to gently form the lamb into burgers. Avoid pressing down on the burgers, as this can also make them tough.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Let the burgers rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers.
Conclusion:
Mediterranean lamb burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. With their juicy, flavorful lamb and their array of fresh toppings, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
