Lamb Tzatziki Burgers is a generously filled sandwich with lamb mince, cucumber and bulgur wheat. It is hearty, bold and ideal for a casual meal that still feels special, with deep tomato flavour and garlic depth.

Preparation time: 20 min

Ingredients

• Bulgur Wheat – 25g
• Lamb Mince – 500g
• Cumin – 1 tsp
• Coriander – 1 tsp
• Paprika – 1 tsp
• Garlic – 1 clove finely chopped
• Olive Oil – For frying
• Bun – 4
• Cucumber – Grated
• Greek Yogurt – 200g
• Mint – 2 tbs

Method

Tip the bulghar into a pan, cover with water and boil for 10 mins. Drain really well in a sieve, pressing out any excess water.
To make the tzatziki, squeeze and discard the juice from the cucumber, then mix into the yogurt with the chopped mint and a little salt.
Work the bulghar into the lamb with the spices, garlic (if using) and seasoning, then shape into 4 burgers. Brush with a little oil and fry or barbecue for about 5 mins each side until cooked all the way through. Serve in the buns (toasted if you like) with the tzatziki, tomatoes, onion and a few mint leaves.
