Method
- Preheat the barbecue 40 mins before cooking. It’s ready when the flames have died down and the coals are white and ashy. Alternatively, preheat the grill to high.
- Boil the potatoes for 20 mins in salted water until tender, then drain. Put the mince, egg yolk, garlic, lemon zest and parsley in a bowl with some seasoning. Mash with clean, slightly oiled hands to combine, then form into 4 burger patties.
- Use 1 tbsp oil to brush the patties on both sides, and brush the pepper halves with another ½ tbsp oil; season. Cook for 6-8 mins each side until the burger are cooked through and the peppers are softened.
- Whisk the remaining 2 tbsp oil with the mustard, honey and lemon juice in a bowl. Add 100g spinach and the potatoes; toss to coat.
- Split the rolls and grill for 30 secs until golden. Load the bases with 1 heaped tbsp of houmous, the spinach leaves, red onion, pepper, burgers and the bun lids. Serve with the dressed spinach and potatoes.
