Ingredients
| 1 | tablespoon olive oil |
|---|---|
| 1 | cut into 4 portions, each split in half |
| 1⁄2 | cup hummus |
| 70 | g Baby Spinach |
| 150 | g roasted red capsicums, sliced thickly (roasted peppers) |
| 1⁄2 | small red onion, sliced thinly |
| chili sauce (optional) | |
| 3⁄4 | cup fresh breadcrumb |
| 2 | tablespoons milk |
| 500 | g lamb mince |
| 1 | medium brown onion, coarsely grated |
| 1⁄4 | cup chopped of fresh mint |
| 1 | garlic clove, crushed |
| 2 | teaspoons ground cumin |
Instructions
| 1. | In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Add lamb mince, grated onion, fresh mint, crushed garlic, and ground cumin. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands until well combined. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, approximately 15cm in diameter and 1cm thick. |
