400g (14oz) minced lamb
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 egg, beaten
2tbsp tomato ketchup
1tsp smoked paprika (pimentón)

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C, (180°C fan oven, 400°F, gas mark 6). Mix together the lamb, onion, garlic, egg, ketchup and paprika. Season well. Take a tsp of the mixture and fry in a pan until browned. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper or paprika if needed.
2 Shape into eight burgers: take about 3tbsp of the mixture in wet hands and gently pat into a good round shape. Do not make them too thick, as lamb burgers tend to be stronger in taste than beef burgers.
3 Heat a non-stick frying pan (no need for oil, the meat is fatty enough) and fry the burgers for a few minutes on each side until browned, then put on a baking sheet in the oven for about 7-9 mins.
