Lamb Burgers and Spicy Relish

Moroccan cuisine, great flavours . Done into burgers, instead of the everyday beef burger. With a spicy relish that compliments it very well. I didn't use any mint in the lamb burgers as I am not a big fan, but you can chop some and add to the mixture if you like the combination of lamb and mint. They do go very well together.

Lamb Burgers

Ingredinets

400 g lamb mince
1/2 a red onion
 2 garlic cloves
Fresh parsley
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp gram masala
Seasoning
Olive oil


Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Level : Medium
Serves: 5

Method

Sauté the onion and garlic , then tip in a bowl and leave to cool. Add the spices and parsley to the onion. Add the mince and season. Shape them into balls and then flatten a little to form a burger. I managed to make 5 burgers in all. Chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes , for better results when frying, Remember to take them out 10 minutes before cooking. To help them re adjust to room temperature a little.  Fry them in a non stick frying pan with a drizzle of oil. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side. Serve with the relish .
