Description
Easy minted lamb burger all the family will enjoy.
Ingredients
500g low-fat lamb mince (better yet, mince your own after trimming visible fat)
2 tsp crushed garlic
1 small onion, grated
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
Instructions
Mix the Ingredients – Begin by placing the lamb mince in a bowl. Add the grated onion, ground black pepper, salt, garlic, and freshly chopped mint. Use clean hands or a spoon to mix everything thoroughly. The goal is to ensure the flavours are evenly distributed throughout the mince.
Create the Burgers – Shape the mince mixture into evenly-sized burger patties. Using your hands works best for this, but if you’ve got a burger press, it’ll make this job even easier. You should get around 4-5 burgers, depending on your preferred size.
Preheat Your Grill – Heat your grill to a medium heat. If you’re lucky enough to have a health grill (which cooks both sides simultaneously), reduce your cooking time slightly.
Cook to Perfection – Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 12 minutes on one side. Then, flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes. If using a health grill, they should be done in about 10-12 minutes altogether. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 74°C, ensuring they’re cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy – Serve your minted lamb burgers in wholemeal buns, loaded with fresh salad. Pair them with homemade chips or your favourite healthy side for a complete meal. Top with a dollop of yoghurt sauce or tzatziki if you’re feeling fancy!
