Servings: persons

1 pound ground lamb
1/2 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) container Greek yogurt
1/2 lemon, zested
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
4 slices green tomato
4 ciabatta sandwich rolls, sliced horizontally
1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese, sliced
8 baby arugula leaves

1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
2
Mix the ground lamb, ground beef, mint, ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl until just combined. Divide evenly into four portions and shape in to large patties. Set aside. Mix Greek yogurt, lemon zest, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; cover and refrigerate.
3
Cook the lamb and beef patties on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place the slices of onion and green tomato on the grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 1 minute on each side.
4
Spread yogurt sauce over the sliced ciabatta rolls. Assemble each burger by placing the patty on the the roll, and dividing the feta cheese slices over the patties. Top with a slice of grilled tomato, grilled onion, and 2 leaves of arugula, followed by the top half of the roll.
