Thought I do one more for you today!
(serves 4)
2 6" pitas, split and quartered
1 lb. lean ground beef sirloin, or ground lamb*
1 red onion (1/2 grated, 1/2 thinly sliced into rings*)
3 T. EVOO, plus more for the grill
2 T. harissa (chile paste)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes (about 1 lb.), cut into 1" wedges
2 Persian cucumbers, sliced 1/2" thick
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro and lemon* mint
1 small heart romaine lettuce, torn
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 oz.)
Preheat the oven to 350. Spread the pitas on a baking sheet and bake until crisp and golden, about 10 mins. Set aside. Meanwhile, preheat grill to med. high. Combine the ground beef, grated onion, 1 T. oil, 1 T. harissa, and 1/4 t. each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into four 1" thick patties; set aside. Whisk the lemon juice with the remaining 1 T. harissa in another bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 T. oil. Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs and sliced red onion; toss to coat. Set aside. Brush the grill with oil. Grill the burgers about 4 mins. per side for med. rare. Add the lettuce and pita wedges to the salad bowl; toss. Top each serving of salad with feta and burgers.
