    Kiwi Lamb Burgers

    This is the mega burger so be prepared to squish it down, tuck in and get messy.

    Serves: 4

    INGREDIENTS

    Burgers
    ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    800 grams lamb mince
    1 small onion, grated
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    small handful parsley, finely chopped
    sea salt and ground pepper

    To cook and assemble
    oil for cooking
    4 burger buns, halved, toasted and buttered
    6 slices cheddar cheese
    4 eggs, fried
    sliced tomatoes, beetroot and lettuce
    mayo, mustard or chutney and pickles

    METHOD

    Preheat the grill to its highest setting.

    Burgers: Stir the breadcrumbs, egg and garlic together in a large bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and combine well, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 burgers, slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink on cooking.

    To cook: Heat a little oil in a large sauté pan over a medium heat and cook the burgers for about 4 minutes each side, or until fully cooked through.

    Place the bottom half of the burger buns on a baking tray and top each one with 1½ slices of cheese. Grill until melted.

    To assemble: Top the cheesy burger bun with lettuce then layer up with the remaining ingredients and the bun top.
