Method: How to cook...

In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, fortified wine and spices. Add lamb mix together with a wooden spoon or hands, until just combined.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs, and then add to the meat. Combine and form into 8 patties.

On an oiled bbq grill, cook each patty until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes on each side. While lamb patties are cooking, fry pancetta in a pan until crispy. Remove the burgers from the grill and top with pancetta. Slather each bun with an fortified wine-spiked mustard and 1 tablespoon of chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

Serves 4.
