Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the barbecue, chargrill, pan grill or frying pan (skillet).
  2. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and blend the mixture with your hands, taking care not to overwork it. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Form the mixture into 8 long oval patties, about 2.5cm (1in) thick.
  4. Chargrill, grill or fry the patties for about 5 minutes on each side for rare, or to your taste.
  5. Split the rolls or pitta breads without cutting them through. Remove some of the bread from the centre of the rolls. Place some tomato and shallot slices in the rolls, add the burgers, and garnish with flat-leaf parsley, coriander (cilantro) and Greek yoghurt.
