Spicy Lamb Burgers with plum, mango & lime salsa
Cooking time: 12-16 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
The burgers
500g pack Minced Lamb
1 tbsp red Thai curry paste
1 small red onion, finely chopped
Handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
Finely grated rind and juice of 1 lime
Salt and freshly ground pepper
The salsa
4 plums, stoned and finely diced
1/2 medium mango, peeled, stoned and finely diced
Half a pack of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
Preheat the grill or barbecue. Put the lamb, curry paste, onion, coriander, grated rind and lime juice into a large bowl. Season and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 4 and shape into burgers. Flatten to about 1.5cm. Cover and chill until ready to cook.
To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Season and set aside.
Cook the burgers under a medium-hot grill for 6-8 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked, there is no pink meat and the juices run clear.
Serve the burgers on warmed Garlic Bread with the salsa spooned over the top and with a little natural yogurt on the side.
Hint and tips:
Substitute the red curry paste with a green curry paste for a change of flavour.
Variation:
Combine the ground lamb with some finely chopped onion, garlic and mixed herbs. Season and shape into balls and shallow fry until browned and thoroughly cooked, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat. Serve with hot, buttered noodles or spaghetti.
