Instructions

Stay Awake

1 In a large bowl mix together the mince, harissa, eggs, breadcrumbs and mint. Set aside for 5 min, then divide the mixture equally into 4 and shape into burgers.

2 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over a medium heat. Add the burgers and loosely cover with a sheet of foil. Cook for 8–10 min, turning once, until the juices run clear. Alternatively, spray the burgers all over with oil and cook on a hot barbecue for 8–12 min.

3 Meanwhile, combine all the coleslaw ingredients in a mixing bowl, then season with white pepper.

4 Fill each roll with some leaves, a burger and some coleslaw. Secure with a cocktail stick, if you like, then serve.
