Ingredients

Sweet mint sambal

• 1/2 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
• 2 tbsp Asian sweet chili sauce
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Lamb burgers

• 1 lb coarsely ground minced lamb
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese + extra for garnish
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves + more for garnish
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 4 naan breads
• 1/2 cup radish matchsticks

Directions

1 Stir together the sambal ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.

2 To make the lamb burgers, mix the lamb through pepper together in a large bowl. Using wet hands, divide the mixture into 4 portions and form each into a long oval sausage shape. Flatten slightly and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

3 Heat the barbecue to medium-high. Brush the burgers with a little olive oil and grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
