Goat Burgers with Halloumi, Red Onion Salad and Tzatziki

Ingredients: 

For the burgers

600g minced goat meat/kid

½ red onion, grated

1 garlic clove, crushed (optional)

2 teaspoons Urfa chilli flakes (or use Aleppo)

Generous pinch of ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Generous pinch of dried mint

½ teaspoon salt

For the onions

½ red onion, thinly sliced

½ teaspoon salt

juice of 1 lemon

small bunch of flatleaf parsley, leaves roughly chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

To assemble

4 slices of halloumi

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 burger-sized lettuce leaves

8 tablespoons tzatziki

4 brioche buns, halved and toasted

4 ripe tomatoes, sliced

Directions: 

Combine the sliced red onion with the salt and lemon juice and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with the grated onion, garlic, if using, spices, dried mint and salt. Mix very well to combine, kneading a little. Divide the mixture into 4 and shape each into a burger about 1cm/½in wider than the brioche buns, with the edges of the burger slightly thicker than the middle. Set aside for at least 30 minutes, to allow the flavours to mingle.

Mix the salted sliced onion with the parsley and olive oil.

When ready to cook, fry the halloumi in the olive oil for about 30 seconds each side, until golden brown and crispy (you can also grill the halloumi). Remove and set aside.

Add the burgers to the hot pan and fry for about 5 minutes on each side, until crisp on the outside and just cooked in the middle.

Build each burger with a lettuce leaf, 2 tablespoons tzatziki, then a burger, a piece of halloumi, some onion and parsley salad, and some sliced tomato.
