Greek flavors stacked into a burger: lamb mince spiced with cumin, coriander and paprika, bound with bulgur for texture, grilled and tucked into a bun with cool mint-cucumber tzatziki. The yogurt sauce cuts the richness; the bulgur keeps the patty juicy. It's a Mediterranean upgrade to burger night.
Ingredients
- 25g Bulgur Wheat
- 500g Lamb Mince
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Coriander
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 clove finely chopped Garlic
- For frying Olive Oil
- 4 Bun
- Grated Cucumber
- 200g Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbs Mint
Instructions
- 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.
