Lamburgers

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place eggplant slices in a single layer on a baking sheet; sprinkle both sides of slices liberally with 1 teaspoon salt; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine lamb, garlic, pepper and the remaining salt; mix lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape lamb mixture into 4 patties, each about ½-inch thick.
  3. Rinse eggplant slices; pat dry. Brush both sides of eggplant slices and tomato slices with olive oil.
  4. Grill eggplant and tomato, covered, over medium indirect heat 14 to 16 minutes. Place lamb patties over medium direct heat; grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes to medium doneness (160°F), turning occasionally. Remove vegetables and burgers from grill. Place hamburger buns on the grill; toast 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Spread 2 teaspoons aioli on bottom of each bun; top each with a burger. Place one eggplant slice and two tomato halves on each burger; top with additional 1 teaspoon aioli and top of bun.
