Directions
- Step 1
Form the lamb patties~ When it comes to meat — I don’t mess around. Make three burgers out of each pound of ground meat. It might seem like a lot, but the burgers do shrink while you cook ‘em.
- Step 2
Salt & Pepper the patties
- Step 3
On your grill, turn two burners on high.
- Step 4
Put the patty on one of the hot burners and sear it a few minutes.
- Step 5
Flip the patty over to the other burner, immediately turn that burner off (the one that you flipped it to) and close the lid.
- Step 6
Continue to cook for a few minutes with the lid closed.
- Step 7
Leaving the first burner on allows the heat to sear the patty and keep the center pink.
- Step 8
While your burgers are cooking, cut the top third off each pita and open it to create a pocket. Slide it in your toaster and toast. This makes the outside crunchy but the inside soft.
- Step 9
Prepare a plate of tomatoes, lettuce and avocado for toppings.
- Step 10
Spread each pita with mayonnaise and dijon.
- Step 11
Place patties in grilled pita and stuff with toppings.
