Method

  1. First make the dip by mixing together the yogurt and mint with a little seasoning, then chill until ready to serve.
  2. Tip the lamb mince into a big bowl with the spices, chilli, herbs, Worcestershire sauce and egg. Season, then get your hands in and mix well. Divide the mixture into 16. Shape into burgers, pushing a cube of cheese into the centre of each and sealing in. Chill until just before your guests arrive.
  3. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the burgers for 1-2 mins until brown on each side, then transfer to a baking tray. Put in the oven for 5-10 mins until cooked through and piping hot. Pile onto a big plate and serve with the dip on the side.

    Very easy to assemble, I used frozen lamb mince could not find fresh, but it worked just as well. Prepared the day before and refrigerated... still to cook will let you know.

    The cooking time mentioned in "the Good Food"magazine is too short; if you don`t want partly raw burgers the cooking time is at least 15-20 minutes in the oven. The taste is good and the recipe is easy to make.

    I cooked these well on a frying pan, and my kitchen smelled of lamb, so I advice anyone trying this recipe to cook in advance (mid day) and then just warm up in the oven under the grill. The lamb lovers loved these, the taste turned out great.

    DELISH!!! easy to make, easier to eat! We ended up with 10, tho they were slighlt irregular sizes. We also cooked some red onions and gherkins in the pan we'd browned the burgers in which went really well with them. The tastiest homemade burgers we've ever tasted.

    I equally divided the feta and lamb into 4 portions, then fashioned into burgers. Fried 2 minutes on each side, then finished in the oven for 5 minutes. Served with moroccan bread and a salad . . . heavenly!

    I have made these both as part of a buffet and also larger ones for family meals. They are absolutely scrummy served in warm pitta breads with the mint yoghurt and salad. Give it a go!

    Made this recipe the day before we intended to eat them and refrigerated. Worked really well and we both loved them. Will definitely make again!
