Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/4 English cucumber
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/4 pounds ground lamb
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
four 4-inch pita loaves
1 1/2 cups shredded romaine
Accompaniment: 8 eggplant slices, grilled

Steps:

Seed and chop cucumber. In a small bowl stir together cucumber, yogurt, 2 tablespoons mint, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl blend together lamb, cumin, remaining 2 tablespoons mint, and salt and pepper to taste. Form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties. When forming patties, handle meat as little as possible for a juicier burger.
Prepare grill.
Grill burgers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 1/2 minutes on each side for well-done. (Alternatively, burgers may be cooked in a hot well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or ridged grill pan.)
Toast pita loaves and split horizontally. Transfer burgers to pitas and top with cucumber mixture, eggplant, and romaine.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use ground lamb that is at least 80% lean. - Don't overmix the lamb burgers, or they will become tough. - Season the lamb burgers generously with salt and pepper. - Cook the lamb burgers over medium heat so that they have a chance to develop a nice crust. - Don't overcook the lamb burgers, or they will become dry. - Serve the lamb burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
