method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
2. Spread the butternut squash out on a non-stick baking tray and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Remove and cool on a plate.
3. Meanwhile, to make the raita, grate the cucumber into a small bowl, add the yoghurt and saffron and mix together. Cover and chill in the fridge.
4. Dry-sweat the garlic and onion in a frying pan for 3-4 minutes, or until soft.
5. Using a fork, mash the cold butternut squash in a bowl, then add the basil, cumin, coriander, chilli powder, marjoram, egg white and lamb together with
the garlic and onion. Mix thoroughly, form into 2 equal-sized burgers and put on a non-stick baking tray.
6. Preheat the grill. Grill the burgers and tomato for 4 - 5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are cooked through and the tomato is golden brown.
7. Lightly toast the bread roll halves.
8. Serve each burger on a bread roll half with the grilled tomato and salad leaves. Squeeze over a little lemon. Serve the raita separately.
