- Combine the lamb, harissa, ginger, onion, garlic, parsley and olive oil in a large bowl. Season well and shape into 8 small patties, then cover with clingfilm and chill for 20 minutes, or overnight.
- To make the sticky onions, heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion slices and season well. Cook over a gentle heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and golden. Add the sugar and cook for a further 2 minutes, until it has dissolved. Turn up the heat, add the balsamic vinegar and cook for 2 minutes, until all the ingredients are combined. Put the onion mixture in a small bowl or Tupperware box and set aside.
- When you’re ready to barbecue, brush the lamb burgers with oil and barbecue for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and lightly charred.
- To serve, slice the pittas down one side and add a spoonful of tzatziki and some rocket leaves, then the mini burgers and top with a good spoonful of the sticky onions.
