These juicy homemade burgers served with a mint, cumin and yoghurt sauce and some homemade burger buns will change your perspective on buying any ever again. They freeze beautifully ready for a midweek meal too.
Peel and grate the potato. Use the small holes on grater.
Grab a larger bowl, add the mince/ground meat (both lamb and beef). Add the salt, pepper, grated potato and garlic, chopped rosemary, chilli flakes soda bicarbonate and beer if you decide to use these. I strongly recommend you do.
Mix nicely the meat with all the ingredients and set aside for a good few minutes. Make the burgers and place on a plate ready to be fried/grilled or barbecued.
Take out a non stick frying pan or a griddle pan, add a dash of oil - I use oil spray generally and place 4 burgers in once the pan is nice and hot. Cook for 6-7 minutes or more if you make them very chunky.
While these cook, make the sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients (yoghurt, lemon juice, mayo, chopped fresh mint, cumin seeds or powder into a bowl. Mix well and it's ready to use.
Enjoy these burgers with some nice homemade burger buns and some caramelised onions or even some grilled aubergine.
