Sam's 'Kiwi' lamb burger

We all have our own recipe to make burgers and this is mine I want to share. The balance of the patties I have perfected resulting in wonderful flavor and texture. Adding the zest and chilli flakes really compliments the lamb without overtaking the flavour of the meat. Then along with the classic 'kiwi' burger additives - fried egg, beetroot, tomato sauce, its always a dinner pleaser!
