Lamb Patties with Tomato and Mint Salsa

Lamb Patties with Tomato and Mint Salsa

Great on the BBQ, grilled or pan-fried.  Can be made a day ahead; can be
frozen.  Easy for a beginner. Works with any ground meat.

1 kg minced lamb
1 cup stale breadcrumbs (I made some from old bread)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
15 grinds black pepper
1/2 tsp Salt (more to taste)


Combine everything and mix well.  Divide into 12 portions, roll each into a
ball, flatten slightly.  Cook - any method - until browned and cooked
through.

TOMATO and MINT SALSA


3 large tomatoes (350g), chopped small
1 small onion, chopped (I also added some spring onion tops.)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Salt to taste

Combine in a bowl, mix well.

QUICK YOGHURT DRESSING

Combine 1/2 cup thick yoghurt, 1 clove minced/crushed garlic, salt and pepper.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
