Ingredients

450g lean lamb mince
1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons freshly chopped rosemary
1 medium cooking apple, peeled, cored and coarsely grated
For the apple and cider relish:
2 dessert apples, cored and finely chopped
225g cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, peeled and finely sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
50g sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
150ml cider

Method

In a large, shallow bowl mix all the burger ingredients together. Using slightly damp hands shape the mixture into 4 x 9cm. Cover and chill for 20 minutes.
Prepare the apple relish; place all the ingredients into a large non-stick pan and gently bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve cold.
Cook the burgers on a prepared barbecue or preheated grill for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked and any meat juices run clear.
Serve the burgers in rolls of your choice with salad leaves, onions and a spoonful of the relish.
