Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean Ground Lamb (80% lean, preferably grass‑fed)
- 1 medium Red Onion (Finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (For sautéing onion)
- 2 pieces Garlic Cloves (Minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Kosher or sea salt)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Chutney (Adds sweet‑tangy depth)
- 4 pieces Wholemeal Burger Buns (Preferably sturdy, lightly toasted)
- 1 large Avocado (Chunky slices, not mashed)
- 1 small Beetroot (Cooked, peeled and sliced)
- 8 leaves Crisp Lettuce Leaves (Romaine or butter lettuce)
- 1 large Tomato (Sliced)
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese Slice (Mild or sharp, placed on patty while cooking)
Instructions
Sauté Red Onion & Garlic
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp dried oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent (about 3‑4 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, being careful not to brown it.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Medium heat
Combine Burger Mix
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to a large mixing bowl. Add the ground lamb, 2 tbsp tomato chutney, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and any additional herbs you like (e.g., a pinch of dried basil). Mix gently with your hands until just combined; over‑mixing makes the patties tough.
Time: PT5M
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions (about 4 oz each). Shape each portion into a round patty slightly larger than the bun, making a small indentation in the centre to prevent puffing.
Time: PT2M
Cook Patties
Increase the skillet heat to medium‑high. Add a drizzle of olive oil if the pan is dry. Place the patties in the hot pan, cooking 4 minutes on the first side. Flip, add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, and cook another 3‑4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Time: PT8M
Temperature: Medium‑high
Toast Buns
While the patties finish cooking, split the wholemeal buns and toast the cut sides in the same skillet for 1‑2 minutes until lightly golden.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium
Prepare Fresh Toppings
Slice the avocado into chunky wedges, slice the tomato, peel and slice the cooked beetroot, and wash the lettuce leaves. Set everything in separate bowls for quick assembly.
Time: PT5M
Assemble Burgers
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, a lamb patty with melted cheese, avocado chunks, tomato slices, beetroot slices, and a drizzle of extra tomato chutney if desired. Top with the bun lid and secure with a skewer.
Time: PT2M
