Ingredients
-
910 grams, lean minced/ground lamb
1 medium onion, finely chopped
½ a Romano/Pointed pepper, finely chopped (see notes)
1-tablespoon Tomato paste, (We now use Heinz Tomato Puree with Mexican Spices and leave out the hot pepper sauce)
½-teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon, paprika
2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoon, chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 burger buns split and toasted to serve
For The Cucumber Relish
1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons, fresh lime, or lemon juice
2 tablespoons, olive oil
4 tablespoons, chopped fresh mint
2 spring onions, finely chopped
Directions
In a bowl mix the lamb, onion, pepper, and herbs, season with a little salt and pepper and mix thoroughly, preheat the grill.
Divide the burger mix into 6 equal portions and shape into patties (we use the burger press available from Lakeland, Grill/broil allowing 5 minutes on each side for a medium burger and 8 minutes each side for a well-done burger.
Toast the surfaces of the buns and serve the burgers on the buns with the cucumber relish.
Serve and Enjoy!
Romano pepper, a long, narrow bright red fresh pepper, weighing around 100g, with a sweet-flavoured flesh and a tender skin
Uses: Romano peppers are ideal for stuffing and roasting (this softens the flesh and concentrates the flavour). A variety of fillings can be used including cream cheese, butter bean, and chilli; cooked rice with mushrooms, ham and red onion or cooked chicken or turkey mixed with sweet corn, crumbled Cheshire cheese, and pesto. Serve the cooked peppers with a sauce such as tomato or cheese or a tangy salsa, and salad.
To store: Keep refrigerated after purchase and use within 3 days. To prepare the peppers for stuffing, slice off a lid leaving the stalk intact and remove the seeds and core using a small sharp knife and a teaspoon. Spoon the stuffing into the cavity and press down firmly using a teaspoon. Lay on a greased baking sheet, season and drizzle with olive oil.
To cook: Preheat the oven to 180C, gas mark 4. Roast the peppers for 30 minutes or until the flesh is tender.
