MMMMM-------------------------CUMIN MAYO------------------------------
      5 lg Egg yolks
      1 tb Dijon mustard
      1 tb Toasted & ground cumin
      1 ts Salt
           Squeeze of lemon juice

  Chef April Bloomfield's lamb burger has developed a
  fanatical following since The Breslin Bar & Dining Room
  opened in New York in 2009. The Breslin uses a custom blend
  done medium-rare, with the tang of feta and red onion, plus
  smoky, irresistible cumin-spiked mayo.
  
  For the cumin mayo: Combine egg yolks, mustard, cumin, salt
  and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend until mixed well
  and slowly stream in oil to create an emulsion. Once all the
  oil is added, finely grate the garlic and pulse a couple of
  times to incorporate. Set aside.
  
  Gently form meat into four 8-ounce patties of even
  thickness. They should be slightly wider in diameter than
  the buns, ideally about 4 1/2 inches.
  
  Sprinkle both sides of each patty with a pinch of salt and
  grill over medium-hot coals for 3 minutes per side. Place
  patties on a cooler part of grill for an additional 3 to 4
  minutes, or until medium-rare. Remove from heat to a warm
  place.
  
  As burgers are resting, top each with a slice of feta and
  slice of onion and finish with ground pepper and a drizzle
  of olive oil.
  
  Meanwhile, toast buns on their outsides over the grill so
  you get a nice crunchy exterior and a soft, warm center.
  
  Assemble burgers and serve with a side of cumin mayo.
  
  Serves 4.
