1 Tip the mince into a large bowl with all the other burger ingredients and a good pinch of salt. Roll up your sleeves, get your hands into the mix and squelch everything together until completely mixed. Pat the mix into eight small burgers. Can be frozen for up to one month or chilled up to a day ahead.

Pile burgers onto a platter and serve with all the accompaniments, so everyone can construct their own pittas.
