Ingredients
- 400 g Minced Lamb
- 1 tablespoon Mustard Seeds
- 4 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 2 Spring Onions chopped
- 2 teaspoon Garam Masala
- Salt & Pepper
- Olive Oil
- ½ Cucumber
- 4 tablespoon Greek Yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Mint chopped
For the Rice
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Onion chopped
- 50 g Pine Nuts
- 1 cup/185g Long Grain Rice
- 450 ml Water
To Serve

Instructions
- Mix the lamb with the mustard seeds, sesame seeds, spring onion, garam masala and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Shape into 8 patties and set aside. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan and fry the patties for a couple of minutes on each side until golden ( you might need to do this in batches).
For the Rice
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and fry until softened. Add the pine nuts and toast for a couple of minutes. Pour in the rice and the water and bring to the boil. Cover and leave to cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes until all of the water has been absorbed.
To Serve
- Chop the cucumber into ribbons or chunks (whichever you prefer) and stir into the yoghurt along with the mint. Serve the patties with the rice, yoghurt and pitta bread.
