Place the tomatoes in a baking dish and roast until they are just wilted, about 5 minutes.

9
Divide the ground beef into 4 even patties slightly wider than the buns (the beef will shrink during cooking); do not overwork the meat, handle it just enough to form the patties.

Allow the burgers to rest for 5 minutes.
15
In the same pan, toast the buns until golden brown.
16
Brush one side of the buns with mustard, and place the patties on the buns.

Top with slices of preserved lemon, followed by the tomatoes.
