Ingredients

450g lean lamb or beef mince
1 small onion, peeled and grated
1 large garlic clove, peeled and finely crushed
1-2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon freshly chopped mint
3 tablespoons prepared sweet chilli sauce
For the Beetroot and Mint Relish:
3-4 small cooked beetroot (not in vinegar), finely chopped
4 tablespoons reduced calorie crème fraiche or Greek yogurt
1-2 tablespoons freshly chopped mint

Method

In a large bowl mix all the burger ingredients together. Using slightly damp hands shape the mixture into four 10cm burgers. Cover and chill for 20 minutes.
Cook the burgers under a preheated, moderate grill or on a prepared barbecue for 6-8 minutes on both sides until thoroughly cooked or until any meat juices run clear.
Meanwhile, prepare the relish; place all the ingredients into a small bowl and mix gently.
Serve the burgers with a spoonful of the relish in bread rolls of your choice.

Tips:

For the best burgers we recommend that you don’t use a lower fat lamb mince. To avoid staining your fingers, wear disposable plastic gloves when preparing the beetroot.
