Servings: persons

For the Double-Paprika Feta Spread:
1 ounce feta cheese
1 tablespoon mayo (I used light)
1 small garlic clove, microplaned or finely minced
1/4 teaspoon regular (sweet) Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
salt and pepper to taste
For the burgers and assembly:
6 ounces ground lamb
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
2 hamburger buns (I used whole wheat)
2-4 jarred cherry peppers, wiped dry with a paper towel
2 leaves of kale

1
Crumble the feta. Use a fork to mash it up with the mayo, garlic, and both paprikas. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2
Preheat a ridged grill pan to medium-high heat and brush with a little vegetable oil. (Or use a cast iron skillet, but I liked using the ridged pan because it let some of the grease drip off.)
3
Mix together the lamb, parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano. Shape into 2 patties.
4
Cook the patties until desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
5
While the patties are cooking, toast the buns if you want. (I did.)
6
When the burgers are done cooking, remove the pan from the heat. Wait a few minutes, then rub some of the lamb drippings into the 2 kale leaves until they're soft and shiny.
7
To assemble the burgers, top each one with the spread you already made, some cherry peppers, and a drippings-rubbed kale leaf.
