Ingredients

6 servings

1 slice white bread, (crust removed and cut into ¼-in (6-cm) pieces)
2 tablespoons milk
¼ cup finely chopped shallots, (from 1 to 2 shallots)
2 cloves garlic, (minced)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1½ lbs ground lamb ((not lean; 80/20 beef may be substituted))
6 pita bread rounds, (or use hamburger buns (see note))
1 small head iceberg lettuce, (shredded)
2 tomatoes, (thinly sliced)
1 red onion, (thinly sliced)
6 oz crumbled feta cheese
Tzatziki sauce

Steps

Preheat the grill to high heat.
Combine the bread pieces and milk in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until a paste forms. Add the shallots, garlic, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add the lamb, then use your hands to mix until well combined. Form the meat mixture into 6 oval-shaped patties about ½-in (13-cm) thick.
Oil the grilling grates. Grill the patties, covered, until nicely browned on the first side, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook for a few minutes more until desired doneness is reached. Place burgers on a tray and cover with foil while you warm pita rounds on the grill. Assemble the burgers and pass toppings and tzatziki sauce alongside.
