Spiced Lamb Brioche Burgers with Garlicky Tzatziki & Sumac Slaw

DAAAMNN, these were good… What an absolute BEAUT of a burger!!

These scrumptious patties were grilled to perfection, crisp and charred on the outside but still soft, juicy, and tender on the inside.  Made using the freshest minced lamb mixed with sautéed onions and garlic, spices of cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, some fresh coriander, and panko breadcrumbs.  

A simple slaw gave a fabulous contrast in textures made from red cabbage, carrots, fresh parsley, mint, coriander, EVOO, sumac, and lemon juice.  Then the creamy, garlicky tzatziki is slapped on top, and it’s all served up in a grilled brioche bun.  Trust me; this was ONE EPIC BURGER!! I served them up with za’atar roasted sweet potato fries!
