Instructions
Warm a frying pan on medium-high heat, and lubricate the cooking surface with olive oil
In a large bowl, combine the lamb, onion, garlic, rosemary, a pinch of salt, a couple of pinches of pepper, and the egg.
Using your hand(s), mix all the ingredients really well to ensure every bite will have a bit of everything.
Divide the mixture into four portions, roll into tight balls, then shape into approximately 1-inch deep patties
Carefully place the patties into the frying pan, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
As the burgers are cooking, pop the pitas into a toaster to quickly heat them up.
Plate the pita, and place approximately 2 tbsp of tzatziki in the middle of each pita
Once the burgers are cooked to your desired “doneness” (I prefer medium-rare), remove from heat and place on top of tzatziki
Sprinkle feta and tomatoes on top of the burgers
Garnish with a salad topped with feta, olives, and a sprig of fresh rosemary, and enjoy!
