Get ready to bring in the New Year with this delicious Moroccan spiced lamb burger.
Preparation time: 15 minutes.
Cooking time: 10 minutes.
You will need:
-
1 red onion
-
2 cloves of garlic
-
canola oil
-
800g of lamb mince
-
1 Tbs of ground cumin
-
1 tsp of smoked paprika
-
juice of 1 lemon
-
2 Tbs of Tabasco sauce
-
1 egg
-
salt and pepper
-
olive oil for grilling
-
20g of rocket leaves
-
4 pita breads
-
100g of hummus (store-bought)
-
100ml of tzatziki (store-bought)
-
20g of pickled chillies
-
10g of coriander
You will then:
Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry them in a little canola oil until soft and translucent.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
Place the mince in a large bowl and season with cumin, paprika, lemon juice and Tabasco.
Add the cooled onions, along with the egg and salt and pepper, and mix well.
Divide the burger mixture into four evenly sized balls and shape into patties.
For best results, let the patties sit in the fridge for at least an hour before cooking them.
Brush the patties with a little olive oil before grilling them, to the degree you prefer, over hot coals or in a griddle pan.
Place some rocket into a pita, followed by the grilled patty.
Spoon hummus and tzatziki over it and garnish the burger with pickled chillies and roughly chopped coriander.
