Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the burgers:
- 500 g lamb mince
- 10 g fresh parsley (a small bunch)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small red onion, roughly chopped
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 1 clove of garlic, roughly chopped up
- 1 red pepper, halved and deseeded
- 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
For serving and cooking:
- Olive oil
- 4 burger baps (we like tiger rolls)
- Salt and pepper
- Salad
- Mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high. Line a tray with baking paper and put the pepper halves on it – cut side down.
- Put under the grill and cook until blackened and shrivelled (about 20 minutes). Remove and leave to cool.
- Peel the charred skin off the pepper and roughly chop up the flesh.
- Put the burger ingredients into the food processor.
- Add the cumin, parsley and some seasoning and blitz until combined – you may need to scrape down the sides of the jug with a spatula occasionally and continue blitzing.
- Form the lamb mix into 4 patties and place on a plate or chopping board.
- Chill for 30 minutes if you have time.
- Drizzle a little olive oil into a large frying pan or griddle pan and place over a medium heat.
- Use a fish slice or spatula to carefully slide the burger patties into the hot oil. Fry until cooked through, turning periodically.
- Dress the buns with mayonnaise, salad etc as you like.
- Check the burgers are cooked through and then put burger on each bun to serve.
Notes
- This is quite a sticky mix so it helps to chill the burgers for at least 30 minutes if you have time
- For the same reason, it is helpful to use a spatula or fish slice to slide the burgers into the pan to cook.
