Lamb Burgers With Goat Cheese Spread

• Goat Cheese Spread
• 4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• juice of a 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Lamb Burgers
• 1 pound ground lamb
• 8 ounces crimini mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed and finely chopped in a food processor
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
• 3 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 medium red chile, finely chopped (alternatively 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper)
• 6 hamburger buns (preferably brioche)
• arugula for serving

1. In a food processor, combine goat cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Place in a small container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In a large bowl combine lamb, chopped mushrooms, onions, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper spices, and chopped chile (or cayenne). With a fork, rake all the ingredients together until well combined. This method keeps the burgers from becoming to dense.
3. Heat the grill over medium-high heat.
4. Oil the grates and then place the burgers on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side.
5. Toast the buns a couple minutes on the grill.
6. Place a burger on the bottom of the brioche bun, then top with the goat cheese spread and some arugula, top with the bun and serve!
