Method :
Place the lamb,
garlic, Parmesan, olives, basil, lemon rind, pine nuts and egg white in a
bowl and mix well with a fork. Shape with wet hands into 8 even-sized
patties. Mix together all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. For a smooth
salsa, process the ingredients in the blender or food processor. Taste and
adjust the seasoning. Heat a griddle pan or nonstick frying pan. Put on
the lamb cakes and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until charred and
firm. Serve with the salsa and a green salad.
