Inspired recipe: Lamb Burgers

Good morning! Hope you had a lovely weekend. The husband and I decided to attempt to make our own hamburgers on Saturday. The result was delicious so I just had to share the recipe.

Lamb burger with tzatziki, roasted red peppers and coriander sprouts

Serves 4

Preparation: 20 minutes

Cooking: 25 minutes

4 - 6 red peppers halved

3 T olive oil

6 cloves garlic, sliced

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

500g lamb sausage

1 free-range egg

1 cup yoghurt

1 cucumber, grated

juice of 1 lemon

4 crusty rolls, halved

a handful of coriander sprouts

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Place the peppers on a baking tray, drizzle with 2 T olive oil and scatter over the garlic before seasoning to taste. Roast for 20 minutes or until charred and softened. Remove the meat from the sausage and combine with the egg. Season to taste. Using your hands, mold the mince mixture into 4 patties. Place a pan over medium to high heat and add the remaining olive oil. When hot, fry the patties until nicely browned on the outside and cooked through but succulent inside. Mix together the yogurt, cucumber and lemon juice. Lightly toast the rolls under a hot grill, then ladle a generous spoonful of the tzatziki onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with a lamb patty, charred red pepper and a few coriander sprouts. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
