Ingredients

SALAD

  • 150g bulgur wheat
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 beetroot, grated
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, diced 1cm
  • ½ bag baby kale
  • 100g harissa dressing

PATTIES

  • 500g lean ground lamb
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • 1 pack lamb spice
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp oil or spray oil

FETA WHIP

  • 1 pack chopped walnuts

  • 150g yoghurt

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to high grill. Set aside an oven tray. Bring a full kettle to the boil.
  2. Prep & cook salad. Add bulgur and a pinch of salt to a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover and leave to soak for 15-18 minutes, until grains are tender. Drain well through a sieve.
  3. In a large bowl combine onion, beetroot, cucumber and kale. Set aside.
  4. Prep patties. In a large bowl combine all patty ingredients (except oil) and mix well to combine. Divide mixture into 8 portions and using damp hands, roll into balls then flatten into patties, about 1.5cm thick.
  5. Place patties on reserved tray (leaving a small space on the side for walnuts) and brush with oil.
  6. Cook patties. Grill patties for about 8 minutes. Add walnuts to tray and cook a further 1 minute, until walnuts are toasted and patties are cooked through. Place walnuts in a medium bowl and set patties aside to rest, covered.
  7. Make feta whip. Add feta and yoghurt to bowl with toasted walnuts and whisk to combine. Season.
  8. Finish salad. Add bulgur to bowl with vegetables, along with harissa dressing. Toss well and season.
  9. To serve, spoon salad onto plates. Top with patties and spoon over feta whip.
