 Categories: Lamb/mutton, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads, Cheese
      Yield: 4 servings
 
MMMMM-------------------------MINT AÏOLI------------------------------
    200 g  (7 oz) good-quality
           - mayonnaise
    1/2    Lime; juice only
      2 cl Garlic; crushed
     20 g  (3/4 oz) fresh mint; fine
           - chopped
        pn Salt

MMMMM--------------------------BURGERS-------------------------------
    1/2    Lh onion; peeled
      2 cl Garlic; peeled
    100 g  (3 1/2 oz) ready-to-eat
           - dried apricots
      2 ts Ground cumin
     25 g  (1 oz) fresh mint leaves
    500 g  (1 lb 2 oz) minced lamb
           - shoulder
     50 g  (1 3/4 oz) fresh white
           - breadcrumbs
      2 tb Harissa paste
    120 g  (4 1/4 oz) feta; crumbled
      1 ts Sea salt
           Sunflower oil; for frying

MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------
      2    Little Gem lettuces;
           - shredded
      2 tb Pomegranate seeds; opt
      4    Brioche burger buns; halved
    1/4    Cucumber; halved, thin
           - sliced
 
  For the mint aïoli, combine all the ingredients in a
  bowl, cover and set aside.
  
  Set the oven @ 200°C(180°C Fan)/400°F(360°F)/Gas 6.
  
  For the burgers, put the onion, garlic, apricots, cumin
  and mint leaves into a food processor and pulse until
  coarsely ground.
  
  Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the minced lamb,
  breadcrumbs, harissa, feta and salt. Combine until
  thoroughly mixed: the best way to do this is using your
  hands. Fry a teaspoon of the mixture to test the
  seasoning: taste and adjust with a little more salt if
  necessary. Divide the mixture into four and shape into
  burgers.
  
  Heat a little oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over a
  medium heat. Add the burgers and fry for 3-4 minutes on
  each side until evenly browned. Put the pan into the
  oven to bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the burgers are
  just cooked through.
  
  To serve, put some of the shredded lettuce and
  pomegranate seeds (if using) onto the base of each
  burger bun. Top with a burger, some cucumber and mint
  aïoli and the remaining half of the bun. Serve
  immediately.
