1. Chop the tomatoes in 1cm cubes and coarsely chop the baby gem lettuce. Peel and cut the onion in half through the root and then slice one half of it into very thin, crescent shaped slices. Slice each pita bread in half. Finely chop the parsley and the mint.
2. Peel the cucumber (discard the skin), then use your peeler to peel long thin ribbons. When you reach the so part in the middle, rotate the cucumber a bit and carry on peeling. Mix the cucumber ribbons with 2 tbsp of yoghurt and half your sliced onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Pre-heat your grill to high heat.
4. Mix together the lamb mince, the cinnamon and 1⁄4 tsp of salt. Next, mix in 3⁄4 of the parsley and mint. Work the mixture really thoroughly with your hands for a few minutes.
5. Divide the mixture into four portions and gently press each one into a burger shape. Tip: Try not to compact the meat too much. Rub a light coating of olive oil on each burger before transferring them to a baking tray. Grill them on the top shelf nearest the grill for 3 mins on each side.
6. In a bowl, mix together the baby gem lettuce and the other half of your sliced red onion. Mix in the tomatoes and the remaining parsley and mint. Season your salad with a pinch of salt and pepper before drizzling over a tsp of olive oil.
7. Put your pita on a baking tray under the grill for about a minute on each side. Tip: Alternatively you can stick them in the toaster but keep an eye on them as they only need to be warmed up rather than crispy.
8. Serve the lamb inside the pita, with a healthy spoonful of your cucumber relish and your salad on the side.
