    • \n
      4 pita breads<\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      100g of hummus (store-bought)<\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      100ml of tzatziki (store-bought)<\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      20g of pickled chillies<\/div>\n

      You will then:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry them in a little canola oil until soft and translucent.<\/p>\n

      Remove from the heat and leave to cool.<\/p>\n

      Place the mince in a large bowl and season with cumin, paprika, lemon juice and Tabasco.<\/p>\n

      Add the cooled onions, along with the egg and salt and pepper, and mix well.<\/p>\n

      Divide the burger mixture into four evenly sized balls and shape into patties.<\/p>\n

      For best results, let the patties sit in the fridge for at least an hour before cooking them.<\/p>\n

      Brush the patties with a little olive oil before grilling them, to the degree you prefer, over hot coals or in a griddle pan.<\/p>\n

      Place some rocket into a pita, followed by the grilled patty.<\/p>\n

      Spoon hummus and tzatziki over it and garnish the burger with pickled chillies and roughly chopped coriander.<\/p>\n
