Preparation

  1. Tip the mince into a large bowl with all the other burger ingredients and a good pinch of salt. With clean hands, squelch everything together until completely mixed, then pat into 16 small burgers. (These can be frozen for up to 1 month or chilled up to a day ahead.)
  2. To cook, heat the grill to its highest setting and lay the burgers in a single layer on a baking tray (in batches if needed). Grill on the highest shelf for 5–6 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  3. Pile the burgers onto a platter and serve with all the accompaniments — pita, tomato, red cabbage, red onion and yogurt — so everyone can build their own.
