Method
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a pan and gently soften the onion for 5 minutes. Leave to cool.
- In a bowl, mix together the lamb mince, mint, Moroccan herb/spice blend, cooled onion and plenty of seasoning. Form into 2 firm burgers and chill for 15 minutes.
- Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and gently cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side until just cooked (alternatively, cook on a barbecue).
- Lightly toast the cut side of the burger buns, put a burger in each bun, then top with a couple of slices of beetroot and a large dollop of tzatziki. Serve sprinkled with the extra mint and a few rocket leaves.

Use turkey mince instead of lamb. It will work equally well with the North African flavours.
