GRILLED LAMB BURGERS WITH YOGURT-FETA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high. Pluck parsley leaves and tender upper stems, discarding tough lower stems. Chop half of parsley (you should have about 1/2 cup packed).

Season generously with salt and pepper; brush with oil.

Transfer to a plate and let stand a few minutes. Meanwhile, grill split sides of buns just until charred in places, about 30 seconds.
