Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground lamb
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
2 cups Greek yogurt
1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
1 cup packed parsley leaves
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 individual pitas or 4 regular pitas

Steps:

  • Preheat the outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm not going to make this recipe.

I'm allergic to lamb, so I can't try this recipe. It sounds delicious though!

This dish is way too expensive to make. I could never justify spending that much money on a meal.

I don't think the flavors in this dish go together very well. The lamb burgers are too heavy and the parsley salad is too light.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I prefer recipes that are simpler and easier to follow.

The tzatziki sauce is a bit too garlicky for my taste. I would probably use less garlic next time.

I found that the burgers were a bit dry. I think I would add some more moisture to the mixture next time.

The parsley salad is a great addition to this dish. It adds a refreshing flavor and helps to balance out the richness of the lamb burgers.
