📝 Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground lamb
• 1/2 teaspoon pestle-crushed smoked chili flakes
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1+1/2 teaspoons Pure Sea Salt
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lemon's zest

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Making the Spread: ---
2. 2Mix together: equal parts plain Greek yogurt, and Sweet Red Pepper & Graviera Cheese Spread. See notes for alternative sauce.
3. 3--- Making the Burger Patties: ---
4. 4Combine the spices: in a small bowl: cumin, oregano, ground coriander, crushed smoked chili flakes, lemon zest, pepper, and salt.
5. 5Add: in a large bowl, the ground lamb and the Mediterranean spice mix. Gently combine.
6. 6Form four 4oz patties: each around 3/4” thick and 4” round. Press a dimple in the center to prevent the patties from getting taller. Put the patties uncovered in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
7. 7Heat: the electric grill at medium-high heat (400F) then reduce to 350F. You can use the flat or grill side. I prefer to use the flat surface.
8. 8Cook: lamb patties until browned, 5 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160F degrees.
9. 9Transfer: patties to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
10. 10--- To Assemble: ---
11. 11Generously spread: the graviera cheese spread mixture on both buns and build each burger first with the lamb patty, followed by the slaw and top with the other bun.
