Lamb Burger

This is adapted from Jamie Oliver's Botham Burger recipe from the Naked Chef cookbook. As usual with Jamie's dishes, these burgers (here, I used lamb instead of beef) are delicious and a firm favourite!

Ingredients:

1 lb or 400g of good quality minced lamb
1 red onion, diced finely
2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 large egg
1-2 handfuls of fresh breadcrumbs
1 Tbs coriander seeds, crushed
1 Tbs cumin seeds, crushed
1 Tbs dijon mustard
1 large handful of parsley, chopped finely
Salt and pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
Take a handful of the mix and shape into a pattie.
This mixture usually makes 10 patties, depending on the size of each one.
Arrange the patties on a tray and place in oven.
Cook until patties are brown and cooked through.
Serve with parsnip chips, baguettes and salad.

Tip: To release the flavour of the coriander and cumin, it's best to grill the seeds in a pan, then crush them either with pestle and mortar or a spice grinder. Be careful not to burn them or they will taste bitter.
