Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1kg lamb mince
2 onions, coarsely grated
1 garlic bulb, broken into cloves and finely chopped or grated
6 tbsp garam masala
bunch coriander, chopped (optional)
1 tbsp chilli sauce, plus extra to serve
8 pitta breads
4 tomatoes, halved and sliced
half a red cabbage, shredded
1 red onion, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Tip the mince into a large bowl (use a clean washing-up bowl if you don't have anything big enough) with all the other burger ingredients and a good pinch of salt. Roll up your sleeves, get your hands into the mix and squelch everything together through your fingers until completely mixed. Pat the mix into 16 small burgers. These may now be frozen for up to 1 month or chilled up to a day ahead.
  • To cook, heat grill to its highest setting and lay the burgers in a single layer on a baking tray (you may need to do this in batches, depending on how big your tray is). Grill on the highest shelf for 5-6 mins on each side until browned and cooked through. Pile burgers onto a platter and serve with all the accompaniments, so everyone can construct their own sandwich.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup tahini paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 small red beet, peeled, thinly sliced
1 large turnip, peeled, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced
20 ounces ground lamb (50 percent shoulder, 50 percent leg)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, minced
1 bunch parsley, stemmed, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 medium brioche buns
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced onions

Steps:

  • For the tahini-yogurt sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, salt, lemon zest and juice and 1 tablespoon water. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator.
  • For the pickled turnips: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 1/2 cups water with the cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, bay leaves, garlic, beets and turnips. Bring to a quick boil to dissolve the sugar. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve the turnips only; discard the beets, bay leaves and pickling brine.
  • For the garlic butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well. Set aside in a small bowl.
  • For the lamb kofta burger: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the ground lamb, garlic, onion, parsley, allspice, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients together to evenly distribute the spices, being careful not to overmix. Divide into six equal portions and shape into a round, tight patties, about 4 inches wide.
  • Place the patties on the grill, spaced 3 inches apart to prevent flare ups. Grill for 3 minutes on the first side to develop a crust. Flip, and cook on the second side until medium-well, 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Brush the cut sides of the brioche buns lightly with garlic butter and toast on the grill until golden and crisp, 5 to 10 seconds. Flip, and toast the outsides until lightly toasted, another 5 to 10 seconds.
  • To assemble: Layer the bottom buns with a burger, some tahini sauce, pickled turnips, lettuce, tomato and onion. Cover with the top buns and serve immediately.

CHEF JOEY'S BAKED KOFTA BURGERS



Chef Joey's Baked Kofta Burgers image

I love the taste of Kofta balls and thought I'd change them a little so they would fit into a burger bun. I used sprouted wheat buns for mine. I put goat's cheese as opposed to cow cheese as it is much easier to digest. I baked these on a large rimmed cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and a light spray of oil. These would be delicious with a side of home made beans or some sort of spicy tomato sauce to give them a little kick.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cauliflower (grated)
2 cups red cabbage (grated)
1 1/2 cups flour (spelt)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon hing
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 pinch cayenne
1/2 cup goat cheese
1/4 onion (chopped fine)
1 apple (grated)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400'F.
  • Cut the parchment to fit the baking pan and spray it lightly with oil. Set aside.
  • Using your food processor with the grater blade grate the cauliflower, cabbage and apple. Put in a large bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and combine to form a slightly sticky mixture.
  • Shape into burgers. I got 8 good sized ones out of this recipe.
