Spiced Lamb Burger image

As the lamb cooks inside the pita, the fat will render into the bread, creating a crunchy, compact, vibrantly flavored meat pie that's unlike any burger you've ever had.

2 1/2 pounds ground lamb, preferably shoulder
1 medium onion, very finely chopped
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teasoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

I love lamb burgers, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The spice blend is perfect, and the burgers are always cooked perfectly. I usually serve them with grilled veggies and feta cheese, and they're always a hit.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to grind the lamb, which made it really quick and easy. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and the spice blend was perfect. I served them with tzatziki sauce and pita br

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll use less chili powder next time. Otherwise, the burgers were cooked perfectly and very flavorful.
