Beef burgers are great, but every once in a while you might want something different to throw on the grill. This lamb burger fits the bill: meaty and juicy, with loads of aromatic spices, and topped with a cooling Cucumber and Cumin Yogurt Relish that beats ketchup any day.

  • Combine all ingredients except bread and relish in a large bowl and mix until evenly incorporated. Form into 4 patties.
  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium (about 350°F). Once the grill is hot, cook the burgers about 10 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear and the patties are firm to the touch.
  • Place lamb burgers on buns, top with relish, and serve.

    • Beverage pairing: Green Point Shiraz, Australia. The spice and black pepper in the wine merge wonderfully with the flavors of the burgers, while the blackberry and plum notes refresh the mouth.
