The Ultimate Kiwi Lamb Burger
Chelsea Winter's take on the classic Kiwi burger – perfect for the barbecue.
Patties
600g Quality Mark lean lamb mince
1/2 large onion, very finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 slice wholemeal toast bread, crusts removed, soaked in 2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon oil
Zest of 1 lemon
To serve
4-5 burger buns, halved
Tomato relish or sauce
Lettuce leaves
Tinned beetroot
1 red onion, very finely sliced
4 eggs, fried
2-3 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup aioli or mayonnaise mixed with 1/2 cup finely chopped basil
Patties: Place all the patty ingredients in a bowl, season and combine. Shape into 4-5 patties, cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat a BBQ or frying pan to a medium heat. Brush the patties with a little oil and cook for a few minutes until crunchy and brown on one side. Turn the patties over, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
To assemble: Everyone can assemble their own burgers with the fillings and don’t forget to give the burger a good press down with your palm before you attempt to eat it.
