That's ok... I make a nice lamb (aka. Lamb Kofta)


Warning -- not for the vegetarian!

What You'll Need:
1 lb ground lamb
1/2 yellow onion
1 egg
fresh parsley
cinnamon
nutmeg
cumin
paprika
garlic
salt & pepper
olive oil

What to do:
This is basically like making mini burgers.

Cut the yellow onion really small (mince it!). Do the same with a clove of garlic, and a handful of fresh parsley.

Put all of the following in a bowl and mix by hand: lamb, minced onion, minced garlic, egg, minced parsley, and one teaspoon of each of the following: cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, cumin. Add a shake of salt and pepper for taste, and mix by hand.

Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan on Med-High. Make little patties about 2 inches in diameter and pretty flat. Fry until browned (about 3-4 minutes) and flip. After another 3 minutes, remove patties and place on a paper-towel lined plate.

Serve with my non-tzatziki Tzatziki sauce [see above post].
