Lamb & Quinoa Burgers with Beetroot Tzatziki

30 minute meal! - by Barbara Northwood

Lamb & Quinoa Burgers with Beetroot Tzatziki
Prep: 10 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4 - gluten-free
Proudly supported by

Serve our lamb burgers with a vibrant beetroot slaw for an easy midweek family dinner that delivers two of your 5-a-day. They'll be on the table in just 30 minutes

Ingredients

50g quinoa

300g (3 or 4) cooked, vacuumpacked beetroot (not in vinegar), drained

250g natural yogurt

small bunch mint, chopped

500g lamb mince

small bunch dill, chopped

1 /2 tbsp oil, for cooking (optional)

2 large carrots, peeled and grated

1 large or 2 small red onions, halved and finely sliced

wraps, burger buns or pitta bread, to serve

Method

  1. Cook the quinoa in plenty of boiling water for 10-15 mins (don’t worry if it still has a little bite), then drain well and leave to cool. Grate the beetroot and mix with the yogurt, half the mint and some seasoning. Chill until ready to serve. 

  2. Use your hands to squash together the quinoa, lamb, the remaining mint, half the dill and some seasoning. Shape into four burgers. Heat a large frying pan (if it’s non-stick, you won’t need oil as the lamb mince is already fatty;
    otherwise, add a drizzle of oil). Cook the burgers for 5-8 mins on each side until they have a nice golden crust and are cooked through. Rest for a few mins.

  3. Mix the carrots, red onions and the remaining dill in a bowl. Pile onto the warm wraps or buns, or into the pitta breads. Top with the burgers and a dollop of beetroot tzatziki.
