Lamb Burgers With Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 25g bulghar wheat
• 500g extra-lean lamb mince
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 garlic clove, very finely crushed (optional)
• oil, for brushing
• large burger buns, sliced tomato and red onion, to serve
• 5cm piece cucumber, deseeded and coarsely grated
• 200g pot thick Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp chopped mint, plus a handful of leaves to serve

Preparation

Serves 4

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.
