1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat grill. Coat grill rack with cooking spray and place on grill.

Combine lamb, bread crumbs, onions, egg white, tomato paste, lemon peel, cinnamon and black pepper in large bowl and mix gently but thoroughly.

Shape into 4, 3 to 3 1/2 inch patties, tucking a piece of feta in the center of each. Arrange on grill rack.
