Spiced Lamb Burgers with Spring Slaw

Ingredients for Spiced Lamb Burgers with Spring Slaw

• 180ml plain full-fat Greek yoghurt

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

• 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt

• 1 small garlic clove, finely grated

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided

• 675g lamb mince

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1/2 bunch asparagus, peeled into ribbons

• 170g sugar snap peas, thinly sliced on a diagonal

• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

• 45ml fresh lemon juice

• 4 potato rolls, lightly toasted

Whisk yoghurt, oil, lemon zest, salt, and garlic in a medium bowl until combined.

Do Ahead: Yoghurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Mix paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon 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 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a medium bowl.

Generously spread yoghurt 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.
