Spicy Lamb Burgers With Herbed Yoghurt
About This Recipe
Are you looking for a delicious lamb recipe with a difference? If you are, you’ve found it! Here’s my spicy lamb burgers with herbed yoghurt for you to enjoy.
For burgers, lamb makes a really nice change from beef. These need to be prepared ahead and rested in the fridge to make sure they don’t fall apart when they are cooked, so they’re a great make-ahead meal. The yogurt makes a lovely cooling accompaniment to the spicy burgers. Light that barbecue and open the cold beers…!

Step By Step
- Put the lamb, onion, parsley, carrot, paprika, chilli flakes, egg and breadcrumbs into a large bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Using your hands, mix well to combine and shape into 6 burgers. Place the burgers onto a flat plate, cover with cling film and rest in the fridge for 1 hour.

- Meanwhile, split the burger buns in half and toast them.
- Serve the burgers between the buns with rocket leaves and a dollop of the herbed yogurt. Fantastic served with cold beers.
GINO’S TIP: If you’re short of time, place the burger patties in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm them up before frying.

Gnocchi di zuccaPotato and roasted pumpkin gnocchi
Gnocchi is a firm favourite of the ladies in my life – my wife and my daughter Mia. Rather than just preparing the traditional plain gnocchi with a tomato-and-cheese-based sauce all the time, I wanted to try and create gnocchi that had so much flavour in their own right that a sauce wasn't even needed. This is what I came up with. I have also tried replacing the pumpkin with butternut squash,...

I love the flavour so much that I have copied the ingredients and added them to this chicken recipe to give me that Italian kick I sometimes crave. It is important not to use buffalo mozzarella for this recipe as it is very milky and releases...

I love this bread; it’s almost a meal in itself and could almost pass for a pizza with all the flavours I have put inside. You can be as creative as you like here and add in almost anything but the melted cheese with the strong flavour of the olives works perfectly with the spinach. This focaccia can be eaten warm or at room temperature and a slice will always be welcome in a lunchbox or on a picnic.

As I was filming in the region of Trentino-Alto Adige I discovered that many locals have their own secret recipe for the perfect apple cake. The film crew and I were constantly trying different recipes and this is the one we all agreed is the best. Thank you to chef Stefano from Ristorante Pellegrino for sharing his secret recipe with me – and now with you too.

This zingy first-course salad takes only minutes to prepare yet is full of flavour and goodness. The peppery little leaves of the watercress are bursting with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making it one of our greatest natural superfoods, while the fennel and oranges are really rich in vitamin C. Try it with my Asparagus, Ricotta, Chilli and Parmesan Tartlets.
