This recipe is another very easy and super quick meal to make that tastes great and is budget friendly.It is on the table in about 30 Min’s. I served these on bagels last night but serve with what ever bread you fancy I usually serve mine on Turkish bread but I couldn’t get any yesterday. I list 250g of tzatziki as this is the weight of the store bought brand that I buy. Sometimes I do have leftovers, but it does keep in the fridge and you can use the leftovers to dip vegetables in for a nice healthy light lunch the next day.
Note: Sumac: A purple-red astringent spice ground from berries growing in the Mediterranean; adds a tart, lemony flavour to food.
Ingredients
500g Lamb mince
1 Small red onion, chopped finely

1/2 Cup panko flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 Tablespoons sumac
4 Bread rolls, bagels or large Turkish loaf (your preference.)
250g Tzatziki
80g Watercress
11/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
16 Slices beetroot, drained
Method
1. Combine lamb, onion, egg, breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon of sumac in a bowl; shape into 4 patties.

4. Combine remaining sumac and tzatziki in a small bowl.
