I adapted this from a Bon Appetit magazine. I love ground lamb and have tried countless recipes to find the best lamb burger. The original recipe came close, then I added a few elements that I liked from various other recipes and came up with this.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground lamb
1 cup chopped green onion (about 4)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
0 inch-diameter pita bread, top 1/4 cut off each
1 cup diced seeded plum tomato

Directions

1
Combine lamb, 1/2 cup onions, 1 teaspoon salt, pumpkin pie spice, pine nuts, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in medium bowl. Mix gently. Using moistened hands, form lamb mixture into 4 equal patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
2
Combine yogurt, cumin, remaining 1/2 cup onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in small bowl. Stir to blend. Let stand 15 minutes.
3
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill burgers until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
4
Carefully open pita breads to make pockets; insert burger in each. Spoon in yogurt mixture and tomatoes, dividing equally, and serve.
