Mediterranean Lamb Burgers

• 4 pita breads
• 2 lbs ground lamb
• 1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup parsley, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Sauce
• 2 cups yogurt
• 1/2 cup cucumber, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• dill pickle, sliced
• tomatoes, sliced
• red onion, sliced

1. Cut each pita bread in half, crosswise, to form a pocket. Wrap pitas in foil and warm in a 300 degree oven while preparing burgers.
2. Make sauce by combining yogurt, cucumber, and lemon juice to serve as a sauce.
3. Thoroughly combine remaining ingredients by gently kneading with your fingers. Shape into 8 1/2-inch thick, oval patties to accommodate the pita halves. Barbecue or broil, leaving them a little pink in the middle keeps the burgers from tasting dry.
4. Let your diners fill each pita half with a burger and choices of sliced pickles, tomatoes, and red onion,then a dollop of sauce.
