Lamb sosatie burgers

Makes 4

Preparation time 20 minutes Cooking time 15 minutes

Curry and lamb are a winning combination. Serve these burgers with crispy onion rings and apricot chutney.

You need

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons Cape Malay curry powder • 500 g lamb mince

• 4 soft Turkish apricots, finely chopped • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs

• 2 teaspoons sea salt

• freshly ground black pepper, to taste

To serve

• 2 onions, in thin rings • olive oil

• bread rolls

• cabbage, finely chopped • apricot chutney

Here’s how

1 Heat the onion, butter and curry powder in a pan and sauté for three minutes.

2 Combine the onion mixture with the rest of the ingredients.

3 Make four even-sized balls with the mince and flatten them with the palm of your hand until they’re slightly bigger than your bread roll.

4 Heat a cast iron pan and add a little olive oil. Fry the patties and only turn them over when the meat starts to form a brown crust. Fry the patties for about 3 – 4 minutes a side or to your taste.

5 Fry the onion rings until crisp. Drain them on kitchen paper and set aside.

6 Serve the patties on buttered rolls with coleslaw, chutney, crispy onion rings and sweet potato fries.
