Middle Eastern spiced lamb burger
INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 loaf (430g) Turkish bread, cut into 4 portions, each split in half
½ cup (130g) purchased hummus
70g baby spinach
150g purchased roasted red capsicum (roasted peppers), sliced thickly
½ small (40g) red onion, sliced thinly
chilli sauce, to serve, optional

lamb patties
¾ cup (50g) fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons milk
500g lamb mince
1 medium (150g) brown onion,
coarsely grated
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
METHOD

Lamb patties
Place breadcrumbs in a medium bowl and pour the milk over. Add the mince, onion, mint, garlic and cumin. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined.

Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape each portion into a patty about 15cm in diameter and 1cm thick.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add the Lamb Patties and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and cook the patties for a further
2-3 minutes or until just cooked through.

Meanwhile, preheat grill on high. Place bread portions, cut-side up, on an oven tray and toast under preheated grill for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. To serve, spread the bottom halves of the bread portions with a little hummus.

Top with the spinach, roasted red capsicum, Lamb Patties, onion, remaining hummus, red onion and the chilli sauce. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

Cover with top of the bread portions and serve immediately.
