My Favourite Burger

Everyone likes a burger. The possibilities are endless; chicken, beef, lamb, cheese, mushrooms, chili, bacon, ketchup, mayo, mustard.... I could go on. This one is my current favourite...

Chili Lamb Burger
To make 6 Burgers
750g Lamb Mince
1 Medium Red Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Chillies
1 Tbls chopped rosemary

For the Tzatziki
400g of Natural Yogurt (Greek is best)
1 Clove of Garlic
2 tbls Olive Oil
Squeeze of Lemon juice
4-5" piece of cucumber
2 tbls fresh chopped mint
1 tbls fresh chopped dill

6 Pitta Breads

1. To make the burgers, grate the onion and garlic. Finely chop the chili. Throw them all into a frying pan with a good glug of olive oil and the rosemary. Fry ingredients for just a couple of minutes.
2. Put the mince in a bowl and season well, and then mix whilst breaking up the meat.
3. When the onion, chili and garlic mixture has cooled, add the mince, and an extra glug of olive oil. Get your hands in there! Mix it all really well, ensuring the meat oozes through your fingers.
4. Make 6 burgers with the mixture

Tzatziki
1, Crush a clove of garlic in the olive oil. Add lemon juice and season well
2, Grate the cucumber into the mixture, and add the herbs. mix well
3, add the yogurt. mix well. serve at room temperature

So, all you need to do is throw the burgers on the bbq, toast the pitta breads and serve with lashings of tzatziki. Greek salad is the obviously best accompaniment, and no-one is going to hate you if you sneak a slice of grilled halloumi in there too :) In fact you might just be declared a hero!
