Ingredients
  

For the burgers:

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 tsp salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp minced fresh marjoram or other herb
  • 1/2 tsp dried dill
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup panko flakes

For the pesto mayo:

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2-4 tbsp pesto or pesto olive oil to taste
  • salt and pepper

For the burgers:

  • 6 mini pita bread
  • shredded lettuce
  • thinly sliced cucumber

Instructions
 

For the burgers:

  • Combine the ground lamb with all of the other ingredients and mix well, but gently. You don't want to overwork the meat. Shape into 6 patties. Heat a tbsp of oil in a skillet over medium high. Add the patties and brown well. Flip and brown on the other side, then reduce heat, cover the pan and cook until cooked through.

For the mayo:

  • Combine the ingredients in a bowl, taste, and season with salt/pepper.

To serve:

  • Cut off a little bit of the top of the pita to make a pocket. Add a burger patty, some mayo, some lettuce and cucumber and serve with extra pesto mayo on the side.
