Greek Style Lamb Burgers with Feta and Harissa Aioli
Truly the ultimate lamb burgers.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
For the Harissa Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons harissa
- 1 large clove garlic minced
For the Lamb Burgers
- 1 1/3 pounds ground lamb ideally freshly ground
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 brioche buns
- 2 ounces feta crumbled (Valbreso brand is my favorite)
- 2 cups baby arugula or baby greens
- 4 slices tomato
Instructions
- Make the Harissa Aioli by whisking together mayonnaise, harissa and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Meanwhile, divide ground lamb evenly and form four, 1-inch thick burgers, making a depression in the center for even cooking. Season both sides of burger with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Transfer burgers to hot grill pan and cook 5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚F on an instant read thermometer.
- Assemble burgers: slather bottoms of each brioche bun with aioli and top with burger, feta, arugula and tomato. Slather inside of top bun with aioli and place on top. Serve.
