HERBED LAMB BURGERS


Serve with bowls of diced tomato, sliced romaine lettuce, and purchased eggplant salad to spoon atop burgers in pitas. Finish with fresh apricots, grapes, and cookies.

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion


2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint


2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon





1/2 cup plain yogurt


1/2 teaspoon ground cumin





2 pita bread rounds, halved





Gently mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; mix again. Form mixture into four 2-inch-diameter 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Luleh Kebabs- Persian Ground Lamb Kebabs:





27 min 15 min prep


3-4 servings





1 lb ground lamb


1 large onion, grated


1 egg


1 teaspoon salt (to taste)


1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)


1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


wooden skewers





1. Soak wooden skewers in warm water for 20-30 minutes prior to preparing food.


2. Place meat in a large bowl; add the onion, egg, salt, pepper, and cinnamon.


3. Beat with a spoon until well mixed and the meat turns lighter in color.


4. Take a handful of the mixture and form it around the skewer to approximately 6'; long and 1'; in diameter to make an elongated patty (it helps to oil hands, and lay out some wax paper to work on).


5. Set kebabs aside on wax paper on another plate until ready to grill.


6. Grill kebabs over hot coals or under broiler until cooked through, turning once.


7. Serve with lemon wedges, and chelou (rice) with a sprinkling of sumak seasoning (optional).
Martha Stewart has a great Shephard's pie recipe that uses ground lamb. It looks amazing!





2 pounds freshly ground lamb


1 large onion, finely chopped


4 carrots, coarsely chopped


2 tablespoons tomato paste


2 tablespoons flour


1 to 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


Coarse salt and ground pepper


10 ounces frozen peas, thawed


2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered


1 cup milk


6 tablespoons butter





1. Preheat oven to 425掳. Heat a large skillet over high heat. In two batches, cook lamb until no longer pink, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to a colander set in a bowl; let fat drain off and discard.





2. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium; add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste. Add flour; cook, stirring, 2 minutes.





3. Add Worcestershire sauce, 2 cups water, and lamb. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in peas; cook 1 minute. Divide among eight 8-ounce ramekins or two 9-inch glass pie dishes.





4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with salted water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.





5. In pan, bring milk and butter to a simmer; remove from heat. Return potatoes; mash. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread over pies; use a fork to make peaks. Bake on a baking sheet until tops are browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly; serve.
