I'm not a big fan of lamb, but these burgers were surprisingly good. The relish really helped to balance out the flavor of the lamb.

I had a hard time finding ground lamb, so I used ground beef instead. The burgers still turned out great!

These burgers were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. The relish was also a bit too sweet for my taste.

These open-face lamb burgers were absolutely delicious! The pistachio-apricot relish was the perfect complement to the lamb, and the yogurt sauce added a nice touch of creaminess. I will definitely be making these again!
