Spiced Lamb Burgers With Spring Slaw Recipes

SPICED LAMB BURGERS WITH SPRING SLAW

Steps:

• Make the yogurt sauce:
• Whisk yogurt, oil, lemon zest, salt, and garlic in a medium bowl until combined.
• Do Ahead: Yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
• Make and assemble the burgers:
• Mix paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. black pepper in a small bowl.
• Shape lamb into 4 patties about 3/4" thick. Season with spice mixture on both sides.
• Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Working in batches if needed, cook patties until underside is browned, 5-6 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on other side, 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss asparagus, snap peas, onion, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl.
• Generously spread yogurt sauce on cut sides of buns. Build each burger with a lamb patty and a mound of slaw. You will probably have extra slaw left over-serve it alongside.
