1kg lean lamb mince
3/4 cup (50g) fresh breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried mint
1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped
1 bunch mint, leaves roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lime

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with foil.
2.

Combine mince, breadcrumbs, egg, mustard and dried mint in a bowl and season. Mix well, then shape into 6 patties. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.
3.

Meanwhile, place cucumber, fresh mint, lime juice, capers, sugar and 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
4.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. In batches, cook patties for 3-4 minutes each side until browned. Transfer to the tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until just cooked through.
5.

To serve, spread aioli on the base of each roll. Top with a patty, mozzarella and cucumber salad. Season and replace tops.
