Remove from heat and stand for 5 minutes. Fluff up grains with a fork and transfer to a large shallow dish to cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, combine yoghurt, mint and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Add mince, onion, parsley, egg white, cinnamon and allspice to burghul. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined. Using damp hands, shape mixture into 4 patties.
  4. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
  5. To serve, top each pita bread with lettuce leaves, tomato, patties, yoghurt mixture and cucumber.
