    SPICED LAMB SLIDERS WITH ROMESCO SAUCE
    LAYER ON THE FLAVOR
    Romesco sauce is a roasted red pepper purée that is thickened with almonds. The sauce can be frozen for up to 1 month. It is also fantastic mixed into pasta dishes or dolloped into soups or stews. If you can’t find mini pita pockets, buy bigger pita breads and quarter them.
    WHAT YOU NEED
    ROMESECO SAUCE
    8 oz (250 g) jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained
    1 ripe plum (Roma) tomato, quartered
    1 slice day-old white bread, torn into pieces
    ⅓ cup (1 ½ oz/45 g) raw almonds
    2 cloves garlic
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    ¼ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) olive oil
    Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    1 lb (500 g) ground lamb
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    2 fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more leaves for serving
    1 teaspoon each ground cumin and ground coriander
    ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    10 mini pita pockets, split

    To make the romesco sauce, combine the roasted peppers, tomato, bread, almonds, garlic, and vinegar in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is uniformly finely chopped, using a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil and process to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
    Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
    In a large bowl, combine the lamb, parsley, chopped mint, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Form into 10 patties, using your fingers to create a dimple in the middle of each. Season both sides well with salt and pepper. Coat the grill grate lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the patties on the grate directly over the heat and grill, turning once, until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side.
    Slide the patties into the pitas and fill with a mint leaf and romesco sauce. Serve right away.

    LAMB & FETA BURGERS WITH SUMAC-YOGURT SAUCE
    SPICE IT UP

    In another bowl, combine the yogurt, sumac, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt. Let stand at room temperature.
    Coat the grill grate lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the burgers on the grate directly over the heat and grill, turning once, until medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
    Coat the grill grate lightly with cooking spray again. Arrange the naan on the grate directly over the heat and grill, turning once, until just lightly toasted and warm, 1–2 minutes per side.
