Preparación

1. 1

   --- For the burgers ---

2. 2

   Grate the onion, grate or crush the garlic and finely chop the mint and parsley (note quantity is after chopping).

3. 3

   Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well - I'd recommend using your hands and really knead the mixture kind of squeezing it to get all the ingredients well mixed.

4. 4

   Divide the mixture in to four and press each quarter into a flattened ball (burger shape) and refrigerate for around 20 minutes or so to firm up a little.

5. 5

   Heat the grill to a medium heat and cook the kofte a few minutes each side until lightly charred and the meat is cooked through. Alternatively, you can cook them on a grill pan.

6. 6

   --- For the salad ---

7. 7

   Combine the chopped romaine lettuce, radish, tomato, cucumber and parsley in a bowl.

8. 8

   Whisk together the oil, lemon, sumac, honey and garlic and drizzle over the salad. Toss to combine. (Note can be prepared ahead)

9. 9

   --- To serve ---

10. 10

    Lightly warm the pita, if you like, then split open on one side. Spread one half of the inside of each pita with muhammara and then add a cooked burger and a good handful of salad.
