Lamb, cherry and feta burgers (makes 3-4 patties)

Lamb, spices, feta and lots of herbs

250 grams minced lamb

150 grams fresh de-stoned cherries, chopped, minced (gently squeeze out some of the juice as you don’t want a mushy burger!)

1 teaspoon fresh tyme

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped with the thyme)

1 large garlic, minced into mush with 1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chilli powder

½ small red onion, peeled and finely chopped/grated

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

40 – 50 grams of sharp feta cheese, crumbled

Lamb, cherry and feta burger – fully loaded

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients but try not to mush them too much – you want to try and have some texture to the lamb mince itself.

Shape into patties.

Chill the patties in the fridge or in a cool area for about half an hour.

Dry fry them in a skillet or grill/barbecue for no more than 2 minutes on each side (it depends on how you like your lamb burgers cooked).

A lamb burger stuffed with plenty of herbs and spices too.
