Did someone say chargrilled lamb burgers? I think they did!! Caramelised onions, charred roasted capsicum, flame grilled lamb patties topped with a homemade minty yoghurt sauce.

This is another one of Jos featured recipes on the new @chargrilleraustralia website and these burgers won't disappoint, I promise 😋
