Switch to Cup Measures

For the lamb and carrot burgers

  • 450 grams minced lamb (very lean, high quality)
  • 2 large carrots (peeled and grated or finely chopped)
  • 1 bunch spring onions (a small bunch, finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (a fat clove, crushed)
  • 50 grams breadcrumbs (fresh, granary)
  • 2 teaspoons sun-dried tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tablespoon mint (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (roughly chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons fresh coriander (roughly chopped - save 2 tbsp for the yoghurt sauce)
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • black pepper (6 turns of)

For the serving

  • 150 ml Greek yoghurt (low-fat)
  • 6 mini naan breads
  • cucumber (slices)

Method

  1. Place all the burger ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix together really well with your hands, or a wooden spoon.
  2. Divide into 6 portions and shape into patties. Cover with cling film and place in fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile mix the saved 2 tbsp of fresh coriander into the Greek yoghurt. Set aside.
  4. Heat the griddle and cook the patties for about 5-8 minutes each side until cooked through and nicely browned.
  5. Toast the naan breads, remove the burgers from the heat, and split the naan breads. Fill each one with a lamb and carrot burger.

Serve hot with a spoonful of yoghurt and some sliced cucumber.
