This lamb burger is a summertime favourite

Ingredients

  • 500g lamb mince
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 smoked anchovies (or unsmoked), minced

  • Pinch of salt to taste

To serve

Method

  1. To prepare the pickled onions, put the onion slices into a heatproof bowl. Boil the kettle and pour over the slices. Leave for about 1 minute, drain.
  2. Add the onions to the rest of the ingredients and allow to marinate.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the lamb mince with the remaining ingredients. Season well with salt and pepper. Put some cling film into the bottom of a mug, add some mince to shape your burger patties.
  4. Cook your burger patties either on a hot barbecue, griddle or frying pan until cooked through.
