Minted Lamb and Olive Burgers

These burgers were immense, not only in taste but seeing as I only made two out of the mixture, also in size. Oh well!

I normally make a slightly different recipe with Feta cheese crumbled into the mixture which has always been a favourite in the summer over the barbeque. This time I didn’t fancy the feta in the mixture though.

1 small pack of minced lamb
1 smallish onion - finely chopped and sweated in a little olive oil
1 chilli - finely chopped and sweated along with the onion
1 slice of bread whizzed up in theblender to make breadcrumbs
A large handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
About ten green olives, coarsely chopped
1 egg
Salt and Pepper to season
Burger Buns - I used Ciabatta bread but you can use whatever floats your boat

Ad the lot together, the egg will help to bind. Mix it around for a while, then shape into burgers as big or small as you like.

Cook in a frying pan, griddle pan, grill or BBQ. Takes about 12-15minutes to cook through if you have them as big as I did!
