Ingredients

The Patty

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 5 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander ground, not cilantro
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

The Chimichurri

  • 1 cup parsley chopped, tightly packed
  • 1/3 cup mint chopped, tightly packed
  • 4 cloves garlic pressed
  • 2 tsp oregano dry, or 2 tbsp fresh chopped
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

The rest

  • 3 brioche bun halved and buttered
  • 3/4 cup Pickled Red Onion see recipe above
  • 3/4 cup parsley flat leaf, fresh, rough chop
  • 3/4 cup halloumi cheese shredded
  • 3 tbsp yogurt sauce see recipe link above

Instructions

  • Combine all the patty ingredients in a ziplock bag, massage thoroughly to combine, press air and seal. Allow to marinade at room temp for at least 30 mins
  • Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a small food processor, or a cup slightly larger than your emulsion blender and pulse just a couple times to combine and chop
  • Split the meat into 3 equally sized balls
  • Heat a skillet on medium heat until water droplets sizzle on it.
  • Toast all the buns and set aside.
  • Lightly press each patty into the pan, not so much to smash, but enough to form a patty slightly wider than your buns, probably around 1" thick. Cook 2 minutes, flip add halloumi, cover and cook another 2 minutes covered or until the cheese melts.
  • Form the burgers- fresh parsley on the bottom, patty, onions. Yogurt and chimichurri on the top. Consider cutting in half to eat.
