Per person, you will need:

250g (1/2 lb) minced lamb
1 large garlic clove (crushed or very finely chopped)
1 small red chilli pepper (deseeded and very finely chopped)
1/2 small red onion
Tbsp of coriander, cilantro in US (roughly chopped)
1/2 small beaten egg
Salt/freshly ground black pepper
A little plain flour for dusting
Sunflower oil to fry with

150g (6oz) small new potatoes
Handful of lamb's lettuce
3 closed cup mushrooms (quartered down through the stem)
6 radishes (halved)
Salt/freshly ground black pepper

The first thing to do is to get the potatoes on to boil in salted water. Do not peel or chop them. They should take about twenty to twenty-five minutes. Drain them and set them aside to cool while you cook the burgers.

When the potatoes are boiling, start preparing the burgers. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. There is no implement unfortunately which substitutes adequately for the human hand during this process, so it's time to get the sleeves rolled up! Divide the resultant combination in two and form two round balls. Then simply flatten them to about 2cm (3/4 inch) in thickness. Dust with flour (which helps protect them during the initial stages of the cooking process) and cook for ten minutes each side in a frying pan or skillet on a low to medium heat.

Just before the burgers are ready, half your potatoes and mix with the remainder of the salad ingredients in a bowl and serve immediately.

A nice Australian Merlot is an excellent accompaniment. Chili served with cornbread , butternut squash soup, meatloaf, mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots. chicken n' dumplings...I'd better stop now. I'm making myself hungry, and it's a loooong time til' dinner :) Boil a couple of chickens, a can of sliced jalapenos, and a couple of large chopped onions in a large stew pot of salted and peppered water until the chicken begins to fall off the bone.(About an hour and a half to two hours). Take them out and pull the meat from the bones, putting the meat back in the stock left in the pot. Add two big cans of diced tomatoes, a big can of whole kernel corn, a bag of frozen okra, and two big cans of mixed vegetables. Simmer for an hour or so. This is a hearty stew recipe I came up with last fall for football Sundays. It's easy, fun, delicious, and mighty hard to mess up! Serve in toss-away styrofoam bowls with saltine crackers, hot sauce, and ice-cold beer. Cheers and enjoy! ribs potatoes salad baked beans apple pie
