# Inspired by the lamb burger served by April Bloomfield at The Breslin

Ingredients

  • Lamb burger recipe:
  • 8 ounces ground lamb (or 3/4 lamb 1/4 veal)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbs parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the burger:
  • 2 sourdough buns
  • 3 Tbs mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp freshly ground cumin seeds, or to taste
  • 1 squeeze of lemon
  • 2 slices feta cheese
  • 2 slices red onion
  • baby arugula

Preparation

Step 1

For the lamb burger:
Combine the ground lamb (or the ground lamb & ground veal) with the chopped onion, parsley and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Form patties and reserve in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

Preheat the broiler or the grill. Brush the lamb burgers with olive oil and broil (or grill) to medium. (I believe lamb burgers are best enjoyed medium)

For the fixins:

Toast the sourdough bun or place it on the grill, cut side down, for a few minutes.

Combine the mayonnaise with the cumin and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Assemble the burger with cumin mayo, baby arugula, red onion and feta cheese and serve immediately with thrice-cooked potatoes.
