- 500g of organic lamb mince
- 1 small handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard
- 1 egg
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- Handful of breadcrumbs
- Sea salt & pepper to taste

To serve and garnish:

METHOD:
1 - Line a baking tray with parchment.
2 - In a large bowl add all the ingredients except the olive oil. Mix to combine and break down the mince.
3 - Once thoroughly combined, separate into four equal parts and roll each into a ball, place on the baking tray and flatten to shape into a burger pattie. These will make large, thick burgers. Chill for 30 mins.
4 - Heat the oil in the Robert Welch Campden Cookware Saute Pan, then add the patties, depending on the thickness and how well done you’d like them cook for 3-4 minutes each side for medium or 4-5 minutes for well done. Check before removing from the pan with a skewer to see if they need more time.
5 - Toast the buns, add a layer of mayonnaise and some greenery. Add the burger pattie, followed by the halloumi, 3-4 slices of pickle, a teaspoon of relish, more greenery and the seeded bun top. Hold together with a burger skewer. Serve immediately with the sweet potato fries.
