Makes 4

 

400g lamb mince

¼ cup breadcrumbs

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp sea salt

¼ tsp black pepper

 

4 brioche burger buns

Butter

Sliced cucumber

Sliced tomatoes

Spinach

 

1. In a food processor, grind mince slightly finer than it comes (or ask butcher to do it for you), being careful not to turn it into sausage meat. By grinding it like this,  it enables the proteins to hold together well for a burger patty.
2. In a bowl, mix mince with spices, seasoning and herbs.
3. Divide into 4, roll each into a ball then flatten to form a patty.
4. Heat oil and fry each patty until well browned and cooked through.
5. Split buns. Grill cut sides of each bun, then butter the rounded tops and slightly grill these too.
6. Assemble burgers with spinach, cucumbers and tomatoes, dressed with yoghurt mint sauce and EAT!
