Ingredients: 12 oz ground lamb; ¼ cup fresh mint, finely chopped; ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped; 2 tablespoons finely minced red onion; 1 garlic clove, minced; ½ teaspoon ground cumin; ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon; ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper; ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt; ¼ teaspoon black pepper; ½ cup labne (or Greek yogurt); 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; ¼ teaspoon sumac; 1 tablespoon neutral oil; 2 medium tomatoes, halved; 1 cucumber, thinly sliced; 2 pita breads or flatbreads; Fleur de sel to finish

Ground lamb scented with warm spices and fresh herbs is shaped into patties and seared until caramelized, then nestled into a warm pita with creamy whipped labne, crisp cucumber, and charred tomato. This is modern American's embrace of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors—accessible, craveable, and surprisingly light.
