Dennis' minted lamb burgers have been going down a treat at family BBQ's for years now (Shirley raves about them), but he has been quite protective with his recipe. Having said that, he might not be being secretive, he may just make the recipe up on the spot each time. If you know Dennis, you know that is distinct possibility. Either way, I've been trying to get the recipe out of him for a long long time, and it looks like he's finally cracked and let me have it. So here it is, Dennis' famous minted lamb burgers.

Method
