  2. Pre-heat a frypan or barbecue to medium high. Season flour and dust patties, shake off excess. Cook patties for 5 minutes each side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, toast buns, spread with tzatziki and tomato salsa (see below), add pattie and top with caramelised onions.

Tomato Salsa

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Caramelised Onions

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add the onions and a good pinch of salt and cook very slowly for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them catching.
  2. When onions are softened and golden, add sugar and balsamic. Cook onion over low heat for a further 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sticky and caramelised. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a plastic container.

Tzatziki

  1. Place yoghurt in a sieve lined with muslin over a bowl and stand for 20 minutes to allow the excess whey to drain away. Place yoghurt in a bowl and discard the whey.
  2. Meanwhile, coarsely grate the cucumber and place in a sieve over a bowl and allow to drain for 20 minutes.
  3. Combine yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, mint, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and place in fridge for a day before serving to allow flavours to develop.

Nick Raitt's Lamb Shoulder and Salt-Baked Celeriac Recipe
Words by Nick Raitt on 3 Aug 2017
Given the surprisingly delicate nature of this dish and its slow cooked texture, opt for a wine with elegance and balance rather than overall power. The 2015 Punt Road Pinot Noir from the Yarra is ideal. It has ripe dark cherry and strawberry fruit, savoury stalk and foresty complexity, with clean red berry-like acidity to match the fat content in the lamb.
