Ingredients

Lamb burgers

  • 450 grams ground lamb
  • ¼ cup fresh mint finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 60 grams unsalted shelled pistachios (or cashews) lightly toasted, then roughly chopped.
  • 4 buns halved crosswise

Mango chutney

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 3-5 cm piece of fresh ginger peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 1 small chili pepper finely diced
  • ½ tsp curry powder
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 50 mL cider vinegar
  • 50 ml brown sugar
  • 2 large ripe mangos peeled, pitted and chopped
  • 50 mL water
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix together the lamb, mint, curry powder, cumin, salt, and the chopped pistachios. Divide the mixture in 4 and form into patties.
    Refrigerate until ready to grill.
  • Prepare the mango chutney.
    In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat, add the shallot and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, diced chili pepper, curry powder, and dried coriander and cook for a minute longer.
  • Add the cider vinegar, brown sugar, mangos, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and gently simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened and mangos are very soft. If needed, add more water to thin.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool before stirring in the fresh mint.
  • Heat an outdoor grill for medium-high, direct heat.
    Place the lamp patties on the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness.
  • When the burgers are almost finished, place the buns, cut side down, on the grill and lightly toast.
  • Serve the burgers on the toasted buns topped with fresh cilantro and Mango Chutney.
