Food Dump!

Quick and easy burger recipe that’s packed with flavour and has a little crunch to it for that texture shake-up that we all need at meal times.  This recipe is fast food with fury; delicious spicey fury…

• 450g Minced Lamb
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard Seeds
• Fresh Corriander (to taste)
• Burger Buns, or homemade flat breads
• Rooster/Maris Piper potatoes
• 1 Red Chilli
• 1 small knob of Ginger
• 4-5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
• Dried Rosemary
• Salt/Pepper

Burgers:

In a large bowl mix the lamb mince, cumin, mustard seeds, chopped corriander, and black pepper to taste. Mix well and press into burgers; I find 150-200g burgers are a good size without being too hard to handle. Once pressed leave to rest in fridge for at least half an hour.

Heat some oil in a pan on a medium-high heat and then add the burgers. Lamb mince can have a higher fat content than some beef mince so this fat needs to render down, so don’t have the pan too hot, but hot enough to sear the outside of the burger. Once the outside has been seared reduce the heat until cooked. Approx 10-15 mins. Voila.

Chips:

Chop your spuds to whatever size chips you like, rinse off starch, press off excess water with kitchen towels and then deep fry in sunflower oil. Remove once cooked, draining the excess oil, and shake on dried rosemary and sea-salt. Voila.

Sauce:

Finely chop and deseed 1 red chilli (skip de-seeding if you like the extra heat) and grate the knob of fresh ginger. Using your favourite brand of mayonaise mix in the chilli and ginger. I add a small bit of black pepper also but this may not be to everyone’s tastes. Serve with the chips or on the burger buns. Voila.

Enjoy.
