Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 scallions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ cup greek yogurt
salt, to taste
2 teaspoons oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sichuan peppercorns, toasted and ground
½ teaspoon red chili flakes
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 lb ground lamb
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cucumber, sliced
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 fresno chilies, or red jalapeños, de-seeded and thinly sliced
4 brioche buns, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Creamy herb sauce: Stir together cilantro, scallion, mint, lemon juice, lemon zest, Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt until combined.
  • Onion saute: Heat oil, then add red onions to a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
  • Cook until they begin to soften but still retain their color and crunch, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Burgers: Combine the lamb, cumin, sichuan peppercorns, chile flakes, sesame oil, sugar, mustard, and salt in a large bowl. Mix gently until spices are evenly distributed, but don't overwork meat. Form into four balls.
  • In the same large saute pan used for the onions and peppers, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Use a wide, stiff spatula to gently smash the balls into flat patties, about 3⁄4-inch (2-cm) thick.
  • Cook until the bottom of each burger has formed a brown crust, about 3-4 minutes. Flip each patty and cook through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Assembly: Spread about 1 tablespoon creamy herb sauce on the bottom of each bun. Place a burger on each bun, topping each with a spoon of onions, sliced cucumber, chilis, and cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
