INGREDIENTS

500g lamb mince
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon harissa paste,
plus 1 teaspoon extra
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon oil
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 Lebanese breads, halved
(see tip)
50g mixed leaves
¼ cup feta, crumbled
SALSA
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small eggplant, finely chopped
2 large tomatoes, finely chopped
½ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
METHOD

  1. In a bowl combine mince, breadcrumbs, egg, harissa, garlic and cinnamon. Mix well and season to taste. Shape into 8 even-sized flattened patties. Arrange on tray, cover and chill until required.

  2. SALSA: Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Saute eggplant for 5-6 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Allow to cool. Transfer to a bowl, stir in tomato and mint. Season to taste.

  3. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Fry patties in two batches 5-6 minutes each side, until cooked through. Drain on paper towel.

  4. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with extra harissa. Fold each piece of bread in half. Top each with mixed leaves, a patty, mayonnaise and salsa. Crumble feta over to serve.


TOP TIP
  • Alternatively, place filling on half the bread and fold bread over to enclose filling.
  • Spread Lebanese bread with hummus dip, if liked.
