Red onion 1 small, peeled and halved
Lean minced lamb 250g (9oz)
Harissa paste 1 tbsp
Feta cheese 110g (4oz), crumbled
Finely chopped mint 3 tbsp, plus extra to serve
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cucumber ¼, diced
Greek yogurt 3 tbsp
Little Gem lettuce a few leaves
2 baps, halved and toasted
Instructions
1
Cut a few slices of onion and reserve for serving, then finely chop the rest. Tip the lamb into a bowl and add the chopped onion, harissa, Feta, 2 tablespoons mint, a little salt (as the Feta is quite salty) and plenty of black pepper. Mix together well. Divide in half and roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a burger shape.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle pan or frying pan and cook the burgers for 5–7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Meanwhile, make tzatziki in a small bowl: mix the cucumber with the Greek yogurt and remaining mint and a little salt and pepper.
