Tasty Lamb Burgers

This is one of my favourite dishes from my Auntie Bernie. She uses left over roast lamb, but I’m not in the habit of roasting great hunks of meat just for little old me, so I generally use lamb mince. Let your guests work out the secret ingredients that make these burgers so special.

60g day old multi-grain bread
1 onion, chopped finely
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ cup mint leaves
500g lean lamb mince
3 tbsp plain yoghurt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp paprika
Sea salt and pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Process bread into crumbs. If using a food processor (or equivalent) add onions, garlic, and mint leaves and pulse a little longer. If using a bowl, ensure all ingredients are chopped finely and mix well.
Add mince, yoghurt and spices and mix till well combined. If using left over lamb, a food processor will mince this to a nice consistency.
Shape mixture into 8 patties, refrigerate if you have time.
Grill, barbeque or bake in the oven.
Serve with your favourite bread and burger fillings.
