Ingredients

25g bulghar wheat

500g extra-lean lamb mince

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 garlic clove , very finely crushed (optional)

oil , for brushing

large burger buns , sliced tomato and red onion, to serve

5cm piece cucumber , deseeded and coarsely grated

200g pot thick Greek yogurt

2 tbsp chopped mint , plus a handful of leaves to serve

Method

Tip the bulghar into a pan, cover with water and boil for 10 mins. Drain really well in a sieve, pressing out any excess water.

To make the tzatziki, squeeze and discard the juice from the cucumber, then mix into the yogurt with the chopped mint and a little salt.

Work the bulghar into the lamb with the spices, garlic (if using) and seasoning, then shape into 4 burgers. Brush with a little oil and fry or barbecue for about 5 mins each side until cooked all the way through. Serve in the buns (toasted if you like) with the tzatziki, tomatoes, onion and a few mint leaves.
