Grill these minty lamb burgers for about 8 minutes and then serve on a pita with bell pepper, yogurt, cucumber and lettuce. Ground lamb can be bought at the grocery store and makes a nice substitute for ground beef. When grilling your lamb burgers, do not press on them because doing so will make them dry, tough, and could press out some of the onion. It's also best to flip the burgers just one time when grilling them. If desired, you can also throw the pita bread and red bell pepper on the grill for a minute to get nice grill marks.
