Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground lamb
  • 4 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 4 oz. log goat cheese, sliced into 4 pieces
  • 4 brioche burger buns, toasted
  • 2 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 1/4 cup prepared garlic aioli

Directions

  1. Stir together ground lamb, garlic, mint, dill, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon and cayenne in a large bowl until just combined. Shape lamb mixture into four patties. Place one goat cheese piece in the center of each patty and carefully wrap edges around cheese to enclose. Gently flatten each into a 4-inch patty.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Oil grate. Grill patties 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and goat cheese melts.

  3. Serve burgers on buns with arugula, aioli and pickled red onions.
