Photography by Melanie Jenkins.
A quick weeknight favourite just got even easier! Because the De’Longhi Multifry uses only tiny amounts of oil, high-quality lamb patties are all that’s needed for a succulent, juicy meal.
INGREDIENTS
Burger
800 grams good lamb mince
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
2 large egg yolks, (size 7 eggs)
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
To cook
vegetable oil to level 5
4 slices cheddar cheese
To assemble
4 burger buns, halved and toasted
butter and mayonnaise
crisp lettuce leaves
sliced tomatoes
½ cup purchased onion jam
METHOD
Burger: Place all of the ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Mix together until thoroughly combined then shape into 4 patties the same size as the buns.
To cook: Remove the paddle from the bowl. Add the oil and the lamb patties.
Close the lid. Press the bottom heating element button and set the power level to position 4. Set the timer for 8 minutes.
Press the programme start/stop button.
After 6 minutes, turn the patties over and finish cooking.
Place the cheese on top of each burger.
Turn on the upper heating element and fan control and set the timer for 4 minutes. Cook until the cheese has melted.
To assemble: Butter the buns and spread with mayonnaise. Add lettuce and tomatoes then top with the lamb pattie and a spoonful of onion jam. Serve immediately. Makes 4.
