WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Heat a griddle pan.
- To make the burgers: Mix the minced lamb with the half the shallot, the cumin seeds and seasoning. Knead well to combine, then shape into burgers a little larger than the buns, and rub oil over them.
- Cook on the hot griddle for 3-4 mins on each side.
- Meanwhile, make the relish. Grate beetroot coarsely and mix with the rest of the shallot, the cumin seeds, oil, lemon juice and dill, or other herb of choice.
- Toast the buns for a few seconds on the griddle.
- To serve, mix the yogurt and tahini, if using, on the base of each bun. Place some leaves, then a burger and some relish, on top. Serve the rest of the relish.
