EDWARD ENTERTAINS
THIS WEEK: CURRIED LAMB BURGERS, MANGO YOGURT DRESSING
Greeting one and all. Welcome to March. Whilst the abundance of snowdrops and daffodils are well received to brighten our spirits, I feel that they will be more brightened in the coming week/s when we can get an opportunity to visit some family and friends, albeit in their garden. My invitation to you is to embrace such visits as an adventure - a safe adventure and perhaps this is an opportunity for you to bring a nice tasty food option (suitable for easy consumption) around to your families on this adventure. These tasty burgers are delicious to have as a quick supper or al fresco garden luncheon. The flavours work wonderfully with the lamb but as always but also, you can adapt them accordingly adding up different types of cheese, chopped sun dried tomatoes etc or even change the meat from lamb to beef.
Food is such a gift, and as with all gifts when they are bountiful-it’s good to share. Stay safe and go well. X

* 1 1/2lb/700g minced lamb * 50g breadcrumbs
* 25g parmesan cheese-grated * 1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder * 1 teaspoon Thai green curry
paste
* 1 tablespoon mango chutney * 1 tablespoon natural yogurt * 1 bunch spring onions

METHOD
Curried Lamb Burgers: * Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/ Gas Mark 4. * Add all the ingredients for the burger together in a large mixing bowl and mix well until combined. Divide the mixture into 7 or 8 pieces. * Shape the burgers into the required shapes using a little flour to assist you and to prevent the burgers from sticking. * Place the burgers onto a baking tray and cook in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until all the juices run clear and the meat is thoroughly cooked.
Mango Yoghurt Dressing: * Mix together all the ingredients for the dressing and store in the fridge until required.
To Serve:
* Serve the burger on a chargrilled pitta with the yoghurt dressing and some tomato salsa.
