Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 190C
Line a baking tray with parchment paper
Pull out a large frying pan or griddle pan, a large bowl, a medium bowl, a small bowl & a peeler

Get the wedges on

Cut the potatoes into wedges
Transfer to the lined baking tray and toss with the harissa, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt
Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until soft and golden

Make the burgers

In the large bowl, combine the lamb, ground cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix and form into 2 burgers (2cm thick)

Salad time

Peel the cucumber into ribbons. Finely dice the onion. Quarter the tomatoes
Place all into the medium bowl and toss with the vinegar and 1 tsp oil. Season with salt and pepper

Sizzle the burgers

Heat the large frying pan or griddle pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burgers and cook for 8 mins. Flip, and cook for a further 6 mins, until cooked through (pour off the excess fat if needed)
Meanwhile, pick the mint from the stalks and roughly chop
Place the mint into the small bowl and mix with the yoghurt. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper

Plate up

Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
Share the lamb burgers between plates, with the wedges, salad and mint yoghurt alongside
