ingredients

For the sauce
- 1 pint plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
- 1⁄2 lemon, zested and juiced
- kosher salt
-
For the burgers
- 2 lbs ground lamb (preferably shoulder meat)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 small head red leaf lettuce, washed and dried
- 4 ripe plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch thick rounds
- 1 loaf brioche bread
directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon zest and juice and season to taste with a couple pinches of salt. Sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use. Bring to room temperature before using.
- Cut the brioche into about 1/3 to 1/2 inch slices and then use a small glass to cut out as many circles as possible, about 3 inches in diameter, from each slice. Place the bread in an airtight container until ready to use so they stay moist and soft.
- Preheat the grill. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and work together until they are fully incorporated. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop the mixture into little balls about 1 to 1 1/2 inches big and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking pan. Using your hands, flatten burgers to about 1/2 inch thick and just a couple of inches in diameter. Once the grill is hot, place them on the grill and cook, about 2-3 minutes per side or until fully cooked through, cook time varies based upon how hot your grill is.
- Place the cooked mini burgers on top of the cut brioche and add a piece of lettuce and a tomato slice. Top with a dollop of the lemon yogurt sauce and serve.
