Lamb Burger with Tzatziki & Good Greek Salad

Method

1. For the tzatziki, mix all the ingredients in a bowl, season to taste, cover and set aside.
2. Place all the ingredients for the salad in a bowl and toss together until well combined. Season the salad with a little salt and pepper.
3. For the burgers, mix the minced lamb, garlic and dried oregano and season generously with sea salt and ground black pepper. Using your hands form 4 large firm balls of the meat and set aside on a plate.
   
4. Place a large frying pan over a high heat and using a spatula or a fish slice, press each ball down firmly onto the pan creating a rough pressed burger. (If the minced lamb isn’t particularly fatty add a tablespoon of oil to the pan before frying)
5. Fry for 3 minutes either side or until the burgers are medium and cooked through.
6. While the lamb is cooking, heat a large griddle pan over a medium high heat.
7. When it has come up to temperature, add the halloumi slices and cook for a minute either side until charred, taking care as they will be very soft.
8. Assemble the burger with a slice of halloumi, baby gem lettuce, dollops of tzatziki, and the salad served on the side.
