Published on 31 July 2022
These minted lamb burgers are the perfect alternative to a classic beef burger at your next barbecue or Friday night in. They’re easy to make and packed with flavour. Lamb mince, fresh mint, punchy garlic, fragrant rosemary and a touch of honey are mixed together, moulded into patties and grilled to perfection. These burgers are great served with the tangy yoghurt and mint sauce in the recipe but you could spice up your version with some chilli or other spices and herbs you enjoy. Add a side of sweet potato fries or else serve with your favourite crisps and a side salad.Time and servings
