Method
 

Steps
  1. Prepare the Yogurt-Feta Sauce: In a food processor, blend together feta cheese and plain whole-milk yogurt until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, sumac, and olive oil in a bowl, and toss cucumber ribbons in the dressing.
  2. Set Up the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates with canola oil.
  3. Grill the Vegetables: Brush eggplant slices with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill for 6-8 minutes. Grill the red pepper for 5-6 minutes until charred, then slice.
  4. Toast the Buns: Place the buns cut-side down on the grill for about 1 minute until golden brown.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Spread the yogurt-feta sauce on the bottom half of each bun, layer with grilled eggplant, red pepper strips, cucumber ribbons, and cap with the top bun.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider mixing fresh herbs into the yogurt-feta sauce. Properly oiling the grill grates prevents sticking. Grill eggplant until tender but not mushy to preserve flavor.
