so morbid, but we ate lamb last night. and it was delicious. as i think i've mentioned, i've been a little lazy when it comes to kitchen duties these days. thank god my husband is an awesome cook. anyway...i decided to whip something up, and it was tasty! here is the recipe (kind of a modified version of something i found in real simple and other recipe sites online):
lamb:
- 1 lb. ground lamb
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- kosher salt and pepper
- scallions (i used about 4 or 5 but not much of the green parts)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
*mix together in a bowl and form 12 mini-patties/balls. place on foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 8-12 minutes, flipping once.
tzatziki:
- greek yogurt, plain
- cucumber, seeded and grated
- dill (fresh is best but i didn't have any and it was still good)
- garlic
- lemon juice and lemon zest
- kosher salt
*mix everything together - add more yogurt to affect consistency. i threw ours in the blender but it came out too liquid-y, so i'm not sure what the solution is for that. i've also read you can strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth so it's thicker, which might have helped. regardless of the liquidiness, it was still super tasty.
anyway...serve the lamb with whole wheat pita, tzatziki, hummus, and feta. it was light and perfect for a summer weeknight meal. and we had leftovers for lunch!
**quick note to those who have commented about the lafayette baby shower - i would love to see any and everyone, but totally understand the travel restrictions. we invited the out of town cousins hoping everyone might be coming in for uncle pit's 60th birthday party.
