Serves: 4
You will need
500g minced lamb
250g Sweetfire® beetroot*, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
100g feta cheese, cut into 4 pieces
To serve:
4 burger buns or ciabatta rolls
Salad leaves
Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Finely sliced red onion rings
Directions
1 In a large bowl, combine the lamb, Sweetfire® beetroot, egg, mint and garlic. Season to taste with salt & freshly ground black pepper and mix thoroughly.
2 Divide into 4 equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a cube of feta in the middle and draw the meat up and over the cheese, moulding it into a burger shape and taking care to ensure the cheese is totally surrounded. Repeat with the other meat portions and set aside in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
3 When you are ready to cook the burgers, heat a griddle pan (or BBQ) to medium-hot and cook the burgers for around 6-8 minutes on each side. Check they are cooked by inserting a skewer into the middle. If it comes out piping hot to touch they are cooked, if not cook for a further minute or so.
4 Serve the burgers in buns with salad.
*Ruby red baby beetroot, freshly cooked and infused with Sweetfire® marinade (a natural marinade made using chillis, oil, a little sugar, and white wine vinegar) which adds a delicious kick to salads and spices up cold meats and sandwiches. Available from Tesco's and Waitrose.
