Method
Gathered your ingredients? Right, we’ll leave you in the very capable hands of Regan!
- For the patties, add all of the ingredients in to a bowl, and ‘squidge’ well together with your hands so that all of the spices are evenly mixed in to the lamb mince. Divide the patties into four equal balls, then press in to the palm of your hand to make the patty shapes. When ready to cook, place on a pre-heated griddle or in a non stick frying pan to a medium heat (no need for oil) and cook for around three to four minutes on each side, or until the patties have cooked through to the centre
- For the dressing, add all of the ingredients in to a pot and give them a good stir – cover and leave in the fridge until serving
- Serve with warm flatbreads or wraps, stuffed with a lamb patty split in half, and a good dollop of yogurt dressing
