Spicy lamb patties

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger paste or grated fresh ginger
• 1 tsp garlic paste or 2 crushed garlic cloves
• 1 tsp ground mixed peppercorns
• 1 tsp ground star anise
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 500g lamb mince
• handful frozen peas
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan, fry the onions with the ginger, garlic and spices for 5 mins until soft, then tip into a large bowl to cool.
2. Mix together the lamb, peas and egg with the onion and season with a little salt. Shape the mixture into 12 patties. You can freeze for up to one month at this stage, then defrost in the fridge. Alternatively, refrigerate up to 1 day in advance. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and fry the patties, 4 mins each side, or until cooked through.
