Ingredients

2 lbs ground lamb
3/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
salt and pepper
oil, for brushing on the grill rack
6 small pita breads
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 small cucumber
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons fresh dill
1/2 cup crumbled Greek feta cheese
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large eggplant

Steps:

Tzatziki with feta:
Seed and chop the cucumber. In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill and feta. Refrigerate and chill for 1 hour.
Grilled Eggplant:
In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk in oil until thick and well blended. Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch rounds. Arrange in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish; coat well with dressing. Grill eggplant until tender, about 3 minutes each side, keep warm.
Lamb burger:
In a large bowl blend together lamb, mint, cumin, salt and pepper, to taste. Form 6 patties.
Before grilling burgers, brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack turning once, 4 minutes each side.
Cut pitas horizontally and lightly toast over indirect heat.
Assemble burgers as follows: pita bottom, lettuce, burger topped generously with tzatziki, a slice of grilled eggplant, and the top of the pita.

This is my new favorite burger recipe! The feta and olives add a salty flavor that complements the beef perfectly. And the tzatziki sauce is the perfect finishing touch.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The flavors were a bit too strong for my taste.

This burger was a disappointment. The patty was dry and the flavors were bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

Not bad! I thought the tzatziki sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but overall it was a good burger.

I've made this burger a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The feta and olives add a nice salty flavor, and the tzatziki sauce is the perfect complement. Highly recommend!
