Spicy Lamb Burger Recipe

 

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 800g minced lamb (it is best not to use lean mince as fat will help to bind the burgers and keep them moist)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped
• 15g fresh mint, chopped
• 1tsp coriander seeds, crushed
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1tsp salt

 

Method

Place the lamb in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix it all together until just combined. This is best done by hand but don't over-work the mixture or you'll get a tough burger.

Wet you hands then shape the mixture into four burgers about 200g each or six smaller burgers.

The burgers can now be cooked either on a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan with a bit of oil, during the summer time it is fun to cook these on the barbeque. Make sure you pre-heat the fying pan, griddle pan or barbeque to a medium heat.

Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side, turning them once only.

Serve with burger buns and salad.
