Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals evenly over the bottom. Heat 2 flat cast-iron skillets over direct heat.
- For the burgers and onions: Combine the lamb, coriander and mint in a large bowl. Form the meat mixture into 4 equal thin half-moon shaped patties. Season the patties with salt and pepper on both sides. Add a splash of oil to the cast-irons. Cook the patties 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the meat to get a nice crust. Flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the burgers from the heat and let rest 2 to 3 minutes before assembling the burgers.
- Meanwhile, drizzle the onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until softened and charred, about 5 minutes.
- For the tzatziki: Add the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest, cucumber, dill and mint to a large bowl and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve: Spread some tzatziki over each pita, add a patty to one half of each pita, top with some grilled onion and add some chopped tomato and lettuce. Fold the other half of each pita over. Serve!

Steps:
- Preheat the outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
- In a bowl combine lamb, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and curry powder. Form into 8 3-inch by 2-inch oblong patties. Set aside to come to room temperature.

- For the tzatziki sauce: In a medium bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, mint, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest and juice. Set aside.
- For the parsley salad: In a medium bowl combine tomato, parsley, red onion, and olive oil. Set aside.

Tips:
- Choose the right lamb: Look for ground lamb that is fresh and has a good fat content, around 20%. This will help to keep the burgers moist and flavorful.
- Season the lamb well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of spices and herbs to season the lamb. This will help to give the burgers a delicious flavor.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Make the tzatziki sauce ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance.
- Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, and feta cheese.

Lamburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. With their juicy lamb patties and creamy tzatziki sauce, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
