STEPS

Toast garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat until spotty brown. Peel, mince, and set aside.

Mix ground lamb with minced garlic, feta, oregano, salt, and pepper. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, form patties and refrigerate.

Prepare cucumber sauce by mixing cucumber, sour cream, mint, vinegar, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate.

Grill patties over hot fire for about 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Rest the patties.

Toast pita breads on grill for about 1 minute per side and split. Assemble burgers: spread sauce, layer onion, tomato, patty, and top with remaining pita halves.
