kofta burgers
These Turkish-inspired kofta burgers are a bold, aromatic twist on a classic, blending ground lamb with warm spices like cumin, coriander, and a touch of chili for depth. The patties stay tender yet hold their shape, thanks to a mix of fresh herbs and a binding agent, while the charred exterior delivers a satisfying crunch. Served in warm pita with cooling yogurt sauce, crisp vegetables, and a sprinkle of sumac, each bite balances heat, brightness, and richness. Worth the effort for a meal that’s as vibrant on the plate as it is in flavor.

Tip the mince into a large bowl (use a clean washing-up bowl if you don’t have anything big enough) with all the other burger ingredients and a good pinch of salt. Roll up your sleeves, get your hands into the mix and squelch everything together through your fingers until completely mixed. Pat the mix into 16 small burgers. These may now be frozen for up to 1 month or chilled up to a day ahead.

To cook, heat grill to its highest setting and lay the burgers in a single layer on a baking tray (you may need to do this in batches, depending on how big your tray is). Grill on the highest shelf for 5-6 mins on each side until browned and cooked through. Pile burgers onto a platter and serve with all the accompaniments, so everyone can construct their own sandwich.
