4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan until hot.
5. Add in the burgers and brown on each side.
6. Transfer the burgers to a roasting tray and bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over each tomato slice and season with the salt.
8. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small frying pan. Add in the green tomato slices and fry for 20 seconds on each side, or until softened.
9. Drizzle the sourdough with the remaining olive oil and toast, preferably on a griddle pan.
10. Top 4 slices of toasted sourdough with aioli and rocket, then a lamb burger, fried tomato and fig. Top each burger with the remaining sourdough and serve at once.
