*450g lean lamb mince
*200g cooked green or puy lentils, drained, rinsed and dried *1 garlic clove, crushed 1tsp dried oregano

1 Put the lamb mince, lentils, garlic, oregano and egg in a bowl, and season well. Mix to combine very well, then shape into 6 patties. Cover and chill for 20 mins to firm up.

4 Lightly oil the burgers on both sides and cook on the hot barbecue/ griddle for 3 mins each side or until cooked through.

5 Lightly toast the buns and top the bases with lettuce, a lamb burger, beetroot, grilled courgette and a good dollop of sauce. Add the burger tops and serve.
