BBQ harissa lamb burgers with minted yogurt
A taste of the Middle East, these Harissa spiced lamb burgers, are easy to make and perfect on the BBQ or fire pit
Method
- To make the mint yogurt, place the yogurt and mint in a bowl and mix together. Set aside for the flavours to develop.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onions and gently cook for 10 minutes until soft but not browned. Transfer to a large bowl and leave to cool.
- Add the lamb mince, parsley and Harissa blend to the onions, season and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into four burgers.
- Either cook on a barbecue or a ridged grill pan. If using a grill pan, heat it until very hot then reduce the heat to medium. Brush the burgers with oil and place on the barbecue or grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like them.
- Slit one side of each pitta bread to make a pocket. Place a burger in each one, with some of the yogurt and salad.

Chef’s Tips
- You can use a griddle pan instead of a BBQ, just heat it until it is very hot then reduce the heat to medium.
- For full on Harissa flavour, mix 2 teaspoons of Bart harissa paste into the olive oil for brushing the burgers with before cooking.
