Lamb Burgers with Parmesan Cheese Sauce

Ground lamb is most often available in the spring.  I overdid it a bit with the Parmesan Cheese Sauce in this photo, but boy, is this dish tasty! I'm not a big fan of roast lamb, but making a broiled burger of ground lamb is very different because the grease naturally drips off.  Serve with fresh roasted asparagus and new potatoes to welcome spring.
