15 prep, 20 min cook

Serves 4

Ingredients

450g ground lamb

25g dried apricots, finely chopped

25g shelled pistachio nuts or almonds, finely chopped (optional)

1 tbsp freshly chopped coriander or mint

Grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

Salt and freshly milled black pepper

To serve

Burger buns

Method

In a large bowl, mix together your ground lamb with the finely chopped herbs, nuts and apricots.

Using slightly damp hands, divide the mixture into four. Make each amount into a burger shape. Each burger shape should have around a 9cm diameter. Cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Grill burgers on a prepared barbecue or preheated moderate grill for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked and any meat juices run clear.

Serve your lamb burger in brioche hamburger buns with a salad garnish and a selection of relishes.
