Method
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb, onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, cinnamon, chilli flakes and pepper. Use your hands to mix and squeeze everything together, for 3-4 mins. Shape the mixture into 6-8 burgers and chill until needed.Step 2
For the chutney, heat the olive oil in a saucepan, then gently cook the onion with the bay leaves for 15 mins or until golden brown. Add the chopped peppers and cook for another 5 mins. Spoon in the brown sugar and, once dissolved, add the vinegar.Step 3
Bring to the boil, then reduce and simmer, stirring every so often, for about an hour, until the chutney is thick and sticky.Step 4
Cook the burgers over a direct heat, either on the BBQ or a griddle pan. Give them around 5 mins each side, until properly cooked through.Step 5
Char the burger buns on the BBQ, then spread a little mayo on the base. Add rocket leaves, the burger, a good dollop of chutney and some sliced pickled chillies.
