Ingredients

450g lean lamb mince (10% fat)
25g dried apricots, finely chopped
25g shelled pistachio nuts or almonds, finely chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander or mint
Grated zest and juice of ½ lemon

Method

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
Using slightly damp hands shape the mixture into 4 x 9cm burgers. Cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Cook the burgers on a prepared barbecue or under a preheated moderate grill for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked and any meat juices run clear.
Serve the burgers in a burger bun with a salad garnish and a selection of relishes.

Tips:

As an alternative, shape with mince mixture into mini meatballs or koftas, mould onto small metal skewers then cook as required and serve as mini kebabs.
