Ingredients
For the kofte burger
- ½ onion grated
- 2 cloves garlic crushed/finely grated
- 2 tablespoon mint finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 1 lb lamb lamb mince, ground
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
For fattoush salad
- 2 romaine lettuce shredded and long slices cut, leaves
- 1 radish thinly sliced
- ½ tomato diced
- ⅙ English cucumber quartered lengthwise and sliced
- 2 tablespoon parsley roughly chopped
- 1 radish halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon sumac
- ¼ teaspoon honey
- ½ clove garlic grated/crushed
To serve
- 6 tablespoon muhammara
- 4 pita bread (I used slightly smaller rounds here)
Instructions
For the burgers
- Grate the onion, grate or crush the garlic and finely chop the mint and parsley (note quantity is after chopping).
- Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well - I'd recommend using your hands and really knead the mixture kind of squeezing it to get all the ingredients well mixed.
- Divide the mixture in to four and press each quarter into a flattened ball (burger shape) and refrigerate for around 20 minutes or so to firm up a little.
- Heat the grill to a medium heat and cook the kofte a few minutes each side until lightly charred and the meat is cooked through. Alternatively, you can cook them on a grill pan.
For the salad
- Combine the chopped romaine lettuce, radish, tomato, cucumber and parsley in a bowl.
- Whisk together the oil, lemon, sumac, honey and garlic and drizzle over the salad. Toss to combine. (Note can be prepared ahead)
To serve
- Lightly warm the pita, if you like, then split open on one side. Spread one half of the inside of each pita with muhammara and then add a cooked burger and a good handful of salad.
Notes
- Note fattoush usually also has toasted pita chips in it which I have missed out here since it is being served in pitas. However if you'd like to make a larger amount of salad to have some on the side, I'd recommend toasting a pita, breaking into chunks and adding shortly before serving (as in my winter fattoush).
- If you prefer, you can also make this with hummus or tzatziki, though I highly recommend muhammara - you can make your own using the muhammara recipe I have shared, it's very easy.
- Note muhammara not included within nutritional info, since it can vary if bought/made etc.
