Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Trim off and discard the stem ends of the radishes; cut the radishes into bite-sized wedges. Peel and mince the garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash until it resembles a paste. Using a peeler, remove the yellow rind of the lemon, avoiding the white pith; mince the rind to get 2 teaspoons of zest (or use a zester). Quarter and deseed the lemon. Trim off and discard the ends of the cucumber; thinly slice the cucumber on an angle. Peel and small dice the onion. Pick the mint leaves off the stems; discard the stems.
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the onion, ¾ of the garlic paste and ¾ of the spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onion and garlic have softened and the spice blend is fragrant. Remove from heat; transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the pan.
Add the lamb and beef blend to the bowl of cooked aromatics; season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, gently mix until just combined. Form the mixture into 6 oval-shaped patties. In the same pan used to cook the aromatics, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside in a warm place.
While the patties cook, in a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, remaining garlic paste, the juice of all 4 lemon wedges and half the mint (chopping just before adding).Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the radishes, sunflower seeds, half the yogurt sauce and all but a pinch of the remaining spice blend; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully place the pitas directly onto the oven rack. Toast 2 to 3 minutes, or until warm and pliable. Remove from the oven. Divide the cucumber, remaining mint, cooked patties and remaining yogurt sauce between the warmed pitas. Place each finished pita on a plate. Serve with the salad on the side. Garnish the salad with the remaining spice blend. Enjoy!
