Spicy lamb burger with halloumi and chilli jam
Topped with grilled halloumi and chilli jam, this recipe makes two double patty burgers, or four single burgers – approximately 800 calories per serving (or 600 calories if served as a single patty).
Ingredients:
- 400g lamb mince
- One egg
- 120g reduced-fat halloumi (sliced)
- Brioche burger buns
- Three tsp American Chip Spice
- One tsp chilli flakes
- Half tsp cumin
- Half tsp cayenne pepper
- Half tsp black pepper
- Four tbsp chilli jam
Method
- Mix the lamb mince, egg and seasonings in a bowl until combined. Split into four equal portions, roll into a ball then flatten to make a patty.
- Grill or pan-fry the patties for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Whilst the burgers are cooking, grill the halloumi and toast the brioche buns.
- Once everything is cooked, simply construct the burger with the halloumi and chilli jam, then add salad to serve.
