Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb Patties

    In a large bowl, mix the ground lamb with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lamb Patties

    Grill or pan-fry the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a portion of mozzarella cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  3. 3

    Make the Spicy Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, sriracha, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread spicy aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked lamb patty with melted mozzarella on top, followed by the oven-roasted tomatoes and a handful of arugula. Top with the other half of the bun.
