Minty Lamb Burgers

Yield:4

INGREDIENTS:
12 oz lean lamb, ground
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 tbsp dry whole wheat bread crumbs
2 tbsp mint jelly
salt and pepper
4 whole wheat rolls, split
2 large tomatoes, sliced
small piece of cucumber, sliced
lettuce leaves
FOR THE RELISH
4 tbsp low-fat unsweetened yogurt
1 tbsp mint jelly, softened
2 in piece cucumber, finely diced
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place the lamb in a large bowl and mic in the onion, bread crumbs, and jelly. Season well, then mold the ingredients together with your hands to form a firm mixture.

  2. Divide the mixture into 4 and shape each portion into a round measuring 4 inches across. Place the rounds on a plate lined with baking parchment and leave to chill for 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler rack with baking parchment, securing the ends under the rack, and place the burgers on top. Cook for 8 minutes, then turn over the burgers, and cook for a further 7 minutes, or until completely cooked through.

  4. Meanwhile, make the relish. Mix together the unsweetened yogurt, mint jelly, cucumber, and freshly chopped mint in a bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until it is required.

  5. Drain the burgers on absorbent paper towels. Serve the burgers inside the rolls with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, and relish.
