Mini Greek Lamb Burgers

Let Your Tastebuds Travel with Australian Lamb

Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients

500g lamb mince
2 spring onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
1 clove crushed garlic
Grated rind and juice of one small lemon
1/4 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tbsp fennel seeds

To serve:
Pita bread
Lettuce
Chopped cucumber
Feta
Tzatziki

Method

Combine mince, onions, garlic, lemon rind and juice, breadcrumbs and the egg. Mix lightly and shape into 12 small burgers. Lightly brush the burgers with a little oil and sprinkle with the fennel seeds.
Preheat the barbecue plate or a pan to moderately high. Add the burgers and lower the heat to moderate. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side, or until cooked. Turn them once only.
Serve burgers with pita, lettuce, cucumber, capsicum, feta and tzatziki.

Tips:
Oil the burgers rather than oiling the barbecue or pan. This ensures the burgers don't stick to the grill or pan allowing them to sear well. If they sear well in the first few minutes of cooking they'll be golden brown and tasty. To make it easy, use a brush dipped in oil or use a spray can of oil.
Burgers should always be thoroughly cooked, and should not be served rare or pink. A good guide is to insert a skewer to the thickest part; if it is ready to eat the juice will be clear.
