INGREDIENTS
For the burgers
- 500 g lamb mince
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
- ¼ tsp salt
For the herb mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise - click the link for my homemade recipe
- 1 small handful fresh mint leaves
- 1 small handful fresh coriander
- 1 small handful fresh thyme - leaves only
- ¼ lemon - zest only
- Salt
To serve
- 4 burger buns
- Salad - I used lettuce and red onion
INSTRUCTIONS
Make the burgers
- Finely chop the mint leaves (a handful) and put them into a large bowl.
- Add the lamb mince (500g) and salt (¼ tsp) and mix with your hands until the mint leaves and salt are evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. Make a little dent in the centre of each one (as the meat naturally puffs up as it cooks, so this will ensure that you end up with a flat burger).
Cook your burgers...
- In the oven pre-heated to 220ºC/200ºC fan for 12-14 minutes.
OR
- Under the grill for 6-7 minutes on each side.
OR
- In a frying pan for 6-7 minutes on each side.
OR
- On the barbecue for 6-7 minutes on each side.
Make the herb mayonnaise
- While the burgers are cooking, make the herb mayonnaise.
- Put the mayonnaise (4 tbsp), herbs (a small handful of fresh mint leaves, a small handful of fresh coriander, the leaves from a couple of sprigs of fresh thyme) and the zest of ¼ of a lemon into a bowl.
- Blitz with a hand blender until the herbs are finely chopped and evenly distributed in the mayonnaise.
- Season with salt to taste.
