Summer Lamb Burgers
A community recipe by JohnJJMartinNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
This is the summer version of my winter cottage pie. I thought one day, Why cant I make the mince into burgers, and the mashed potatoes on top into fries. For the low-carb crowd, try my chickpeas salad.

Additional Information
Dont be afraid to use the bread crumbs in the recipe. If you can only find white bread crumbs, then get a loaf of good brown bread; break it up in a clean and dry food processor and blitz it till it goes into crumbs. Take the new crumbs and put them on a baking tray and put in the oven on a low heat to dry out for about 10-15minutes. If youre doing this, keep an eye on them, so they dont burn - They should go a further nice brown. Let them cool in a bowl making sure to mix them around lightly so they dont get all soggy from the heat. Remember the amount of bread crumbs that you use in this is nothing to that of a plate of rice/pasta or sandwich. If you dont want to use bread crumbs at all, use an extra egg for the binding of the mixture.
