Method

To make sauce
1

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a mixing bowl.

2

Add a quarter of a cup of garlic aioli and quarter of a cup of Greek style yoghurt into the bowl.

3

Chop two tablespoons of fresh mint leaves and add to the bowl.

4

Add a pinch of salt, stir to combine, and set aside.

To cook patties
1

To prepare the patties, add the red onion, rosemary, crushed garlic and olive oil together in a pan.

2

Cook over a low heat, stirring frequently until the onions are soft, fragrant and caramelised – approximately 10 minutes – then set aside to cool.

3

Add the lamb mince, breadcrumbs, egg and paprika into a bowl with the cooled red onion and season well with salt and pepper.

4

Mix until well combined, then drop the crumbled feta in and fold through carefully so the feta is spread throughout in small chunks, but not mashed up.

5

Shape in to 6 equally sized patties.

6

Heat skillet or BBQ grill to medium high heat.

7

Place patties on grill and cook for 3-4 minutes.

8

Continue cooking until cooked through (71°C).

9

While the patties are cooking, toast your buns under a grill until lightly golden brown, then set aside.

10

Once the patties are cooked it is time to layer up your burgers.
