MOROCCAN LAMB BURGERS WITH ROSEMARY FOCACCIA

Prep time: 20 minutes + proving time
Cook time: 20-25 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients

500g pack ciabatta bread mix
2 cloves garlic, chopped
20g fresh rosemary from a living pot, chopped + 1 sprig
reserved
2 tbsp olive oil
500g lean minced lamb
1 tsp rose harissa paste
½ tsp sea salt

Method

Mix the bread mix with the garlic and half the rosemary and mix in 260ml warm water to form a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes. Return to the bowl, cover and leave to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the lamb, harissa and remaining chopped rosemary and mould into 4 burgers, chill.

Preheat the oven to 220oC, gas mark 7.

Knock back the dough and divide into 8, mould into flat rounds and place on 2 greased baking trays. Make dimples in the dough using a wooden spoon handle, sprinkle with salt and press in small sprigs of rosemary, leave in a warm place for 20 minutes until doubled in size then drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, swapping over the trays half way until golden.

Heat the remaining oil and fry the burgers gently for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked throughout. Serve with 4 rolls and some salad.

Cook’s Tip

Freeze the remaining rolls for another occasion.
