How to make Spiced lamb burgers with spring slaw

1. Whisk together the yogurt, oil, lemon zest, salt, and garlic in a medium bowl until well combined.

2. Do Ahead: Prepare the yogurt sauce up to 1 day in advance. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.

3. Mix the paprika, cayenne, 1 ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper in a small bowl.

4. Shape the minced lamb into 4 patties, each about 2 cm thick. Season both sides with the spice mixture.

5. Heat oil in a large frying pan, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. If necessary, cook the patties in batches. Cook until the underside is browned, about 5–6 minutes.

6. Turn the patties and cook until browned on the other side, about 4–5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes.

7. Meanwhile, toss the asparagus, sugar snap peas, onion, lemon juice, and remaining ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper in a medium bowl.

8. Generously spread the yogurt sauce on the cut sides of the buns. Assemble each burger with a lamb patty and a mound of slaw.

9. Note that you may have extra slaw left over—serve it alongside the burgers.
