lamb as gently as possible, in a bowl combine lamb with feta and olives and
form into six 1-inch-thick patties. Season burgers lightly with salt and

coals 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer burgers to pita
pockets and top with tomatoes, bell peppers and onion. Serve burgers with
yogurt sauce. This recipe yields 6 servings.
