Open-Face Lamb Burgers with Pistachio-Apricot Relish

These open-faced lamb burgers offer a sophisticated twist on a classic barbecue favourite, blending succulent meat with vibrant Middle Eastern flavours. The high-protein lamb shoulder is lightly seasoned to let the quality of the meat shine, while the sourdough base provides a satisfying, artisanal crunch. This dish is defined by its unique pistachio and apricot relish, which provides a beautiful balance of sweetness, acidity, and texture to contrast the rich, savoury lamb.

Ideal for a weekend lunch or an elevated midweek dinner, this recipe is as nutritious as it is flavourful. The inclusion of fresh mint and sherry vinegar cuts through the richness, making it a refreshing choice for outdoor dining. Serve these burgers alongside a crisp green salad or roasted root vegetables for a complete, wholesome meal that feels truly indulgent.
