Steps

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor, blend the feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides once. Scrape into a bowl and refrigerate until serving.

    5 min

    • 6 oz feta
    • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
  2. Step 2

    Stir the mayonnaise, harissa and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

    2 min

    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 1/2 tbsp harissa paste
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, add the ground lamb, garlic, mint, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands just until the seasonings are spread through, then divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick and slightly wider than your bun. Press a shallow dimple in the center of each with your thumb so they stay flat on the grill. Chill the patties until the grill is ready.

    10 min

    • 1 1/2 lb ground lamb
    • 3 cloves garlic
    • 3 tbsp fresh mint
    • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
    • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
    • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  4. Step 4

    Heat the grill to high (about 450–500°F) and scrape the grates clean, then oil them lightly.

    10 min, hands-off · 475°F

  5. Step 5

    Grill the patties over direct high heat, uncovered, about 3–4 minutes per side, flipping once, until well charred outside and just pink in the middle (130–135°F for medium). Move them to a plate and let them rest 5 minutes.

    8 min

  6. Step 6

    While the burgers rest, brush the pita or buns with olive oil and grill them cut side down for 30–60 seconds, until warm and lightly toasted.

    2 min

    • 4 pieces thick pita breads or brioche buns
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
  7. Step 7

    Spread harissa mayo on the top half of each bun and a thick layer of whipped feta on the bottom. Add a patty, then tomato, cucumber and red onion. Sprinkle the tomato with a little salt, close the burgers and serve right away.

    5 min

    • 1 large tomato
    • 1/2 English cucumber
    • 1/4 red onion
    • salt
