Lamb and watercress are both at their very best this time of year and this recipe combines them in a healthy, nutritious way the whole family will love.

Preparation time: 15minutes

50g watercress, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil

• Method:
  Place the mince, onion, watercress and cumin in a large bowl with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix together thoroughly.
• Divide the mixture into 8 then use wet hands to shape each piece into a small thin pattie. (Let this kid's do this bit - they'll love it!)
• Cook the burgers under a hot grill or over hot coals of a BBQ for 8 - 10 minutes turning once until they are cooked through with no sign of pink juices.
