Ingredients

250 g lamb mince
1 white onion (grated)
3 clove garlic (grated)
1 lemon (including zest)
1 green chilli
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp paprika (for the burger mix)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 egg yolk
coriander (handful)
2 burger bun
60 g goats cheese
red onion (finely sliced)
1 large tomato
125 g Greek yogurt
0.5 clove garlic (grated, for yogurt)
lemon juice (for yogurt)
salt and pepper (to taste, for yogurt)
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp paprika (for the butter)

Steps

1
In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, grated white onion, 3 cloves of grated garlic, lemon zest, juice of the lemon, chopped green chilli, cumin, 1 tablespoon of paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil, egg yolk, and a handful of chopped coriander.
2
Mix the ingredients thoroughly and shape into burger patties.
3
In a separate small bowl, prepare the garlic yogurt by mixing the Greek yogurt with 1/2 clove of grated garlic, a squeeze of lemon, and salt and pepper to taste.
4
Cook the lamb patties in a pan over medium-high heat until juicy and browned.
5
While the burgers cook, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small pan and stir in the remaining paprika to create a spiced basting butter.
6
Baste the lamb patties with the spiced paprika butter during the final minutes of cooking.
7
Toast the burger buns and prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion.
8
Assemble the burger by spreading the garlic yogurt on the bottom bun, followed by the lamb patty, goat cheese, tomato slices, and red onion.
9
Top with a runny egg (as mentioned in the transcript) and the top bun before serving.

Notes

The transcript mentions a 'runny egg on top' which is characteristic of Turkish pasta (Çılbır) but it was not listed in the formal ingredients list. For the most authentic 'dream' version, add a fried or poached egg during assembly.
