Instructions

For the burgers

  1. Grate the onion, grate or crush the garlic and finely chop the mint and parsley (note quantity is after chopping). 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

For the salad

  1. Combine the chopped romaine lettuce, radish, tomato, cucumber and parsley in a bowl.
  2. Whisk together the oil, lemon, sumac, honey and garlic and drizzle over the salad. Toss to combine. (Note can be prepared ahead)

To serve

  1. 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.

Notes

  • Note fattoush usually also has toasted pita chips in it which I have missed out here since it is being served in pitas. However if you'd like to make a larger amount of salad to have some on the side, I'd recommend toasting a pita, breaking into chunks and adding shortly before serving (as in my winter fattoush).
  • If you prefer, you can also make this with hummus or tzatziki, though I highly recommend muhammara - you can make your own using the muhammara recipe I have shared, it's very easy.
  • Note muhammara not included within nutritional info, since it can vary if bought/made etc.
