Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. ground lamb 3 tsp. sweet paprika 3 tsp. dried oregano 2 small cloves of garlic, minced 1 tsp. fresh ground Kosher salt 6 oz. of a whole piece of round feta cheese, sliced into 1/4 inch slices 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil 2 Tbs. fresh dill, chopped 1/2 of a small red onion, thinly sliced 3 Tbs. balsamic vinegar 1 tsp. granulated sugar 2 whole wheat pita breads, sliced in half and warmed 8 thin slices ripe tomato 12 thin slices English cucumber This recipe serves _____ persons. How to make this dish:   Prepare a medium charcoal or gas grill fire. Clean and oil the grill grates. Gently mix the lamb with the paprika, oregano, garlic and 1 tsp. salt. Shape it into four 1/2 inch thick patties. On a large plate, lay out the slices of feta and sprinkle with the olive oil and 1 Tbs. of dill. In a small bowl, toss the onion with the balsamic vinegar, sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and remaining 1 Tbs. dill, and let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Grill the burgers on one side until they have good grill marks, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until it has good grill marks, too, about 5 minutes for medium doneness. (Cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 °F as measured with a food thermometer.) Serve the burgers in the warmed slices of pita with the feta, tomato, cucumber and pickled onions. This pocket sandwich can easily make your kids happy at home. It is also a fresh and healthy dish for those who are on a diet. If you like, you can make a jar of fresh lemonade that goes very well when you like to serve these warm pockets. I hope the summer heat will be more bearable by having good eats around the pool. Wishing you all the best my dear readers.
