Ingredients

  • 700 g Celtic lamb minced meat, spice free
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ red chilli
  • ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 bunch of chives
  • 4 naan rolls
  • 4 tbsp plain wholemeal yoghurt
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp za'atar
  • pepper
  • salt

Instructions

  1. Place the minced meat in a salad bowl. Add the chopped flat-leaf parsley, za'atar, pepper and salt. Mix well and shape into 4 large burgers. Wet your hands with cold water and smooth out the burgers.
  2. Using a peeler, cut the cucumber into long, thin strips. Remove the central part with the seeds and cut into pieces. Put them in the bowl of the chopper and blend. Pour into a bowl, then add the pressed garlic clove, chives and deseeded chilli, both finely chopped. Add the yoghurt, 2 tbsp olive oil, pepper and salt.
  3. Mix the cucumber strips with 2 tbsp olive oil, pepper and salt.
  4. Brush the burgers with olive oil and grill on the barbecue (or grill). Allow ± 2 min per side and cook for longer if you like (they may still be pink inside).
  5. Quickly grill the naan buns on the barbecue. Top them with the burgers and a little sauce, as well as the thinly sliced red onion and flat-leaf parsley if you have any left.

Tip: Depending on your taste and/or if you're on a budget, you can easily replace the lamb with beef or plain mixed minced meat.
