Recipe | Lamb, mint & apricot burgers

April 22, 2016

Recipe | Mint, apricot & lamb burgers | These Four Walls blog

Lamb and mint is one of those perennially popular food pairings that make most people’s mouths water, mine included. For her latest seasonal recipe post, Kym Grimshaw from fantastic food blog On the Plate has given this classic spring combination a Moroccan twist by adding apricots and a bit of spice to regular lamb burgers, and serving them up with hummus and chilli jam.

The burgers are easy to prepare, and make a quick yet indulgent weeknight supper. I followed Kym’s advice and stuffed them into toasted pitta breads with cucumber, sprouting beans and salad leaves, but you could of course go all out with classic buns and fries.

Read on for instructions…

Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and soften the red onion with the garlic over a low heat for 10 minutes, adding the cumin for the final 2 minutes.
  2. Allow the red onion to cool a little, then add to a large bowl with all the remaining ingredients. Combine the mixture well with your hands and divide into 4 before shaping into burger patties.
  3. Drizzle a little more oil into the same pan and fry the lamb burgers for 7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  4. Serve up with hummus and chilli jam if you like, in pitta breads or bread rolls.

I now have this design in three different colourways around the house, and this is definitely my favourite to date!

I've been a fan of their sustainable bamboo kitchens and furniture for a long time, so this was a real treat. And the space itself is full of the time-worn textures and beautiful details that always catch my eye.

If you've seen my Stories, you'll know we've had a stressful Sunday and Monday thanks to a poorly cat and some big house news. At least it's only a four-day week!
