- mayonnaise
1/2 Lime; juice only
2 cl Garlic; crushed
20 g (3/4 oz) fresh mint; fine
- chopped

MMMMM--------------------------BURGERS-------------------------------
1/2 Lh onion; peeled
2 cl Garlic; peeled
100 g (3 1/2 oz) ready-to-eat
- dried apricots
2 ts Ground cumin
25 g (1 oz) fresh mint leaves
500 g (1 lb 2 oz) minced lamb
- shoulder
50 g (1 3/4 oz) fresh white
- breadcrumbs
2 tb Harissa paste
120 g (4 1/4 oz) feta; crumbled
1 ts Sea salt
Sunflower oil; for frying

MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------
2 Little Gem lettuces;
- shredded
2 tb Pomegranate seeds; opt
4 Brioche burger buns; halved
1/4 Cucumber; halved, thin
- sliced

For the mint aïoli, combine all the ingredients in a
bowl, cover and set aside.

Set the oven @ 200°C(180°C Fan)/400°F(360°F)/Gas 6.

For the burgers, put the onion, garlic, apricots, cumin
and mint leaves into a food processor and pulse until
coarsely ground.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the minced lamb,
breadcrumbs, harissa, feta and salt. Combine until
thoroughly mixed: the best way to do this is using your
hands. Fry a teaspoon of the mixture to test the
seasoning: taste and adjust with a little more salt if
necessary. Divide the mixture into four and shape into
burgers.

Heat a little oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over a
medium heat. Add the burgers and fry for 3-4 minutes on
each side until evenly browned. Put the pan into the
oven to bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the burgers are
just cooked through.

To serve, put some of the shredded lettuce and
pomegranate seeds (if using) onto the base of each
burger bun. Top with a burger, some cucumber and mint
aïoli and the remaining half of the bun. Serve
immediately.
