Mini Spiced Chicken Burgers with Mint Greek Yogurt

By Hester

I'm going to try this with tzatziki rather than the mint yogurt.

Ingredients

• Chicken mince – 250 gms
• Chopped red chillies – 2 ; seeds removed – adjust if to your taste. I used Scotch Bonnet , but even Thai red chillis are fine
• Chopped Garlic – 3 cloves
• Finely chopped Red Onion – 1
• Chopped Corriander – handful
• 1 tsp Red Chilli pd
• 1 tsp Cumin pd
• 1 tsp Kafta spice
• Salt to taste
• Lebanese cucumber sliced with skin on
• Greek Yogurt
• Chopped fresh Mint
• Few leaves of fresh crunchy lettuce

Preparation

Step 1

For making the Chicken burger, bring together in a mixing bowl, the mince, spices, corriander, chillies, garlic and onion. Mix it well with your hand and form flat patties and fry them in a few drops of olive oil on a non stick pan or even better if you have a griddle pan.
Meanwhile whip together the Greek yogurt, mint and some salt. Warm the pita bread slightly on the naked flame of the gas and then slice it open, place the lettuce right at the bottom, then place the burger and top it up with some yogurt and a few slices of the cucumber. Its a very nutritious and well balanced snack … spicy vs cool, soft vs crunch, hot vs cold, juicy & meaty vs green & sharp … what more could you ask for !
