• 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup soft fresh goat's cheese (or cream cheese for kids)
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• Roughly chopped fresh mint or cilantro for garnish
• Fine mince of hot jalapeno pepper if you wish

1. In a mixing bowl combine the ground lamb with the cinnamon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Saute a bit of the mixture to taste if seasoning is right or not.
3. Mix the goat's cheese with the chives.
4. Divide the lamb into 4 portions and shape each one into a patty.
5. Press your thumb in the center to create a pocket in the burger.
6. Take about a tablespoonful of the cheese mixture and set it in the indentation.
