Ingredients

  • 300g new potatoes, larger ones halved
  • 40g light mayonnaise (use dairy-free mayo, if required)
  • 1⁄2 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 tsp
  • 250g lamb mince (10% fat)
  • 1 x 250g pack asparagus, trimmed
For the salsa verde
  • 1 x 30g pack parsley, leaves picked
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1⁄2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 3 tinned anchovy fillets, drained and chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Step by step

  1. Place 2 baking trays in the oven on separate shelves and preheat to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7.
  2. Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, blitz all the salsa verde ingredients in a mini food processor with 1⁄2 tablespoon of cold water (or finely chop everything and combine). Mix 1 tablespoon of this mixture through the mayonnaise and set aside.
    Waste not
    For an easy pasta sauce, chop leftover anchovy fillets and heat them gently with garlic and chilli, then add chopped cherry tomatoes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and toss with 1⁄2 tablespoon olive oil and some seasoning.
  4. Mix the remaining salsa verde into the mince, using clean hands. Shape the mixture into two patties (about 2cm thick).
  5. Spread out the parboiled potatoes on one of the hot baking trays and put the burgers on the second. Roast for 5 minutes initially, with the burgers on the higher shelf.
  6. Toss the asparagus with 1 teaspoon oil and season. Add to the tray of lamb and roast everything for a further 10 minutes.
  7. Serve the patties with the salsa-mayo spooned over and the veg on the side.
