1 tablespoon olive oil
1 loaf Turkish bread, cut into 4 portions, each split in half
1/2 cup hummus
70 g Baby Spinach
150 g roasted red capsicums, sliced thickly (roasted peppers)
1/2 small red onion, sliced thinly

2 tablespoons milk
500 g lamb mince
1 medium brown onion, coarsely grated

Place breadcrumbs in a medium bowl and pour the milk over. Add the mince, onion, mint, garlic and cumin. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to mix until well combined.
2
Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape each portion into a patty about 15cm in diameter and 1cm thick.
