Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute chilli powder for ground cayenne pepper, olive oil for rapeseed oil, and burger buns for the book's "Flatbread" recipe specified in this recipe.

    So good with naked slaw (dressed with vinegar) cucumber lettuce and tomatoes Didn't make the spiced yogurt and had garlic mayo instead Had a kebab vibe but in the best way

    Completely delicious. Probably my favourite burger recipe. The lamb goes beautifully with the spices and the yogurt sets it off beautifully. The yogurt uses a lot of the same spices as the burger, but if I've been in a rush I sometimes sub the listed recipe for some plain yogurt mixed with garlic, lemon juice and plenty of salt and pepper.

    Very flavorful burgers.

    Most of the spices were of the non-hot variety and they helped produce a really flavourful burger. The minty yogurt was a great condiment but I realized too late that I was supposed to toast and grind extra spices for it; I used pre-ground and they added nothing so I think I'll just omit them from the yogurt next time.

    We really enjoyed these lamb burgers, which I served on pita. I doubled the spice blend for the burgs to save on time, and added a tablespoon of the blend to one cup of yogurt. No regrets, tasted great!
