Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 450g lean lamb mince (10% fat)
  • 25g dried apricots, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander or mint
  • Grated zest and juice of ½ lemon

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
  2. Using slightly damp hands shape the mixture into 4 x 9cm burgers.  Cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

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.
