  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 small bunch fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp mint sauce
  • 1 large red onion, roughly chopped
  • 500g lean lamb mince
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, for frying
  • 8 lettuce leaves
  • 8 brioche buns
  • 3 gherkins, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for the relish)

Instructions
  1. For the burgers, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic, coriander, mint sauce, onion, salt and pepper in a food processor until coarsely textured. Mix into the lamb mince using wet hands, then shape into 8 burgers. Chill on a baking tray in the fridge.
  2. For the tomato relish, heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion and garlic, covered, for 5-7 minutes until soft. Add the remaining relish ingredients, bring to the boil for 2-3 minutes, season, then simmer covered for 10 minutes.
  3. For the mint mayonnaise, mix the mayonnaise, chopped mint and mint sauce together.
  4. Cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, using a frying pan with the olive oil or a barbecue.
  5. Toast the bun halves. Spread relish on the bottom half, add lettuce, the burger, a dollop of mint mayo and the gherkins, then top with the other bun half.
