Moussaka burger

Inspired by chef John, but modified slightly due to laziness, availability of ingredients and just cause I felt like it.

Ingredients
0.5 yellow onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small eggplant
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp ketchup
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp cumin
0.25 tsp cinnamon
0.25 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1 pound ground lamb
4 rolls
tomatoes
mayo
mild blue cheese
mint leaves
rice vinegar

Preparation
Peel and dice the eggplant, onion and mince the garlic.

Saute the onion in the olive oil, then add the eggplant, garlic and spices. Cook until lightly browned. Set aside to thoroughly refrigerate.

Mix the eggplant with the cold, freshly-ground beef, assemble into patties.

Grill until cooked through. It's crumbly!

Serve on toasted rolls with tomatoes marinated in rice vinegar with mint leaves. Optional mayo on the top roll and melted blue cheese.

The BEST burger I've ever had.
