1 crushed garlic clove
2 tbsp harissa paste
500g British free-range lamb mince
1 medium free-range egg
½ x 200g pack of feta, crumbled

Glug of oil

1 crushed garlic clove

500g British free-range lamb mince
1 medium free-range egg
½ x 200g pack of feta, crumbled
Large handful of chopped fresh coriander
4 brioche buns,
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices of tomato
4 slices of cucumber
4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp harissa

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat a glug of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic clove and harissa paste, lightly season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
Tip into a large mixing bowl withthe lamb mince, egg, feta and a large handful of chopped fresh coriander. Mix everything together with your hands, season and shape into 4 large patties.
Put the patties on a lipped non-stick baking tray (they give out a lot of juice) and bake for 30-35 minutes until the lamb is cooked through. Toast the brioche buns, then layer each base with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 slice of tomato and 1 slice of cucumber, then the burger. Mix the mayonnaise with the harissa and add a dollop to each. Top with the other half of the buns and serve with salad leaves, sliced cucumber and spring onion, if you like.
