Chef April Bloomfield's lamb burger has developed a
fanatical following since The Breslin Bar & Dining Room
opened in New York in 2009. The Breslin uses a custom blend
done medium-rare, with the tang of feta and red onion, plus
smoky, irresistible cumin-spiked mayo.
For the cumin mayo: Combine egg yolks, mustard, cumin, salt
and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend until mixed well
and slowly stream in oil to create an emulsion. Once all the
oil is added, finely grate the garlic and pulse a couple of
times to incorporate. Set aside.
Gently form meat into four 8-ounce patties of even
thickness. They should be slightly wider in diameter than
the buns, ideally about 4 1/2 inches.
Sprinkle both sides of each patty with a pinch of salt and
grill over medium-hot coals for 3 minutes per side. Place
patties on a cooler part of grill for an additional 3 to 4
minutes, or until medium-rare. Remove from heat to a warm
place.
As burgers are resting, top each with a slice of feta and
slice of onion and finish with ground pepper and a drizzle
of olive oil.
Meanwhile, toast buns on their outsides over the grill so
you get a nice crunchy exterior and a soft, warm center.
Assemble burgers and serve with a side of cumin mayo.
Serves 4.
