Lamb Tzatziki Burgers

A lamb dish from the Greek kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 25g Bulgur Wheat
  • 500g Lamb Mince
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 clove finely chopped Garlic
  • For frying Olive Oil
  • 4 Bun
  • Grated Cucumber
  • 200g Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tbs Mint

Method

  1. Tip the bulghar into a pan, cover with water and boil for 10 mins. Drain really well in a sieve, pressing out any excess water.
  2. To make the tzatziki, squeeze and discard the juice from the cucumber, then mix into the yogurt with the chopped mint and a little salt.
  3. Work the bulghar into the lamb with the spices, garlic (if using) and seasoning, then shape into 4 burgers. Brush with a little oil and fry or barbecue for about 5 mins each side until cooked all the way through. Serve in the buns (toasted if you like) with the tzatziki, tomatoes, onion and a few mint leaves.
