Lamb and Feta Burger with a Mint Yoghurt Dip

Ingredients - serves 4 people

Burgers

450g Lamb Mince

1/2 Onion - Finely chopped and sautéed  (leave them to cool down)

1 tsp of Ground cumin

1/2 tsp of Ground Coriander

Medium bunch of fresh Coriander - chopped and including the stalks

2 x Garlic cloves - crushed

Feta

1 x Egg - whisked slightly 

Breadcrumbs - Approx 3/4 slices worth

Seasoning

Chili - Optional

Flat Bread or Buns

Spicy Wedges

Potatoes

Paprika - As much as you like

Cayenne - As much as you like

Dried Majoram and Oregano - Approx 1/2 tsp of each

Mint Yoghurt Dip 

Natural or Greek Yoghurt - Approx 5 tablespoons

Small bunch of fresh Mint chopped 

Lemon juice

Splash of red wine vinegar

Seasoning

Spicy Mayo

Mayo - 3 tablespoons

Cayenne - as much as you can take

Paprika - 1/2 tsp 

Lemon juice - 1/2 tsp

Preheat oven to Gas mark 5.5, 190 degrees 

Mix Lamb, onions, cumin, g.coriander, fresh coriander, garlic, seasoning and chili if you are using it. Add 3/4 of the egg and breadcrumbs and combine - if you feel you need more add the rest of the egg and breadcrumbs. Should bind well and look like below.

Cut Feta into 2cm chunks 

Divide into 4 portions, take 3/4 of each portion and make a dent in the middle with the remaining 1/4 into a 'lid'. Place the feta square in the middle (see below)

Place the 'lid' over the top and squish together to make a burger shape. See below

Put the burgers in the oven with about 20 minutes to go till the wedges are cooked. 

 I NEVER boil potatoes before I make chips or wedges. I feel you don't necessarily need too, but do so if you wish. I just cut into wedge shapes and chuck in a bowl. Throw on some olive oil and the rest of the ingredients then shake to coat all the wedges. Put on a baking tray and into the oven for about 40/45 mins

  

Mix all the ingredients for the yoghurt and mayo dip (not together of course)

Use what ever flat bread/buns that you wish. I think these Thins by Warburtons go rather well, I toast them and add some salad. 

Yum Yum! Enjoy!
