Lamb Burgers with a Feta Yogurt Dill Sauce served with Just Picked Roasted Carrots and Potatoes (Dinner From a Few Nights Back)

During a recent visit to Citarella in East Hampton, I noticed a poster for Lava Lake Lamb. After reading the poster I decided to give it a try. Knowing my husband loves a good lamb burger, I asked the butcher to take the deboned leg and grind it up for me. A little surprised that someone would make such a request for such a nice piece of lamb, he finally agreed.

What caught my eye is that the lamb is 100% Grass-Fed - never placed in feed lots, never given hormones, never given antibiotics.
