East Indian Lamb Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and cumin seeds in the hot oil until onion is browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add lamb, tomato paste, coriander, salt, garam masala, turmeric, and red chile powder; stir to coat. Cover saucepan and simmer until meat is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl.
• Add ground lamb and mix well.
• Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into 1/2 inch thick patty.
• Heat skillet on medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Add patties and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until no longer pink inside.

Steps:

• For the sauce:
• In a small bow, whisk the yogurt with the lemon juice. Stir in the chopped herbs, season with salt and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the patties and pita:
• In a bowl, use your hands to mix together all of the ingredients, except for the pita. Form the mixture into twelve 3-inch oval patties (about 1 inch thick). Arrange the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm
• Preheat a grill for at least 10 minutes and prepare it for grilling over moderately high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, leave one area where you can grill the pita indirectly.
• Oil the grill grates and grill the patties until dark brown grill marks form on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the patties and grill for 4 to 6 minutes longer, until just cooked through.
• Meanwhile, wrap the pita in foil and set the package on the top shelf of a gas grill or in the cooler spot of a charcoal grill and allow them to warm through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Wrap 2 or 3 patties in each pita, spoon some of the yogurt sauce alongside and serve with herb sprigs, passing the remaining yogurt sauce at the table.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• In a bowl, mix the lamb, green onions, garlic, curry powder, cumin, red pepper, salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Grill patties 5 minutes on each side, or until done.

Steps:

• Combine the lamb with all the other ingredients.
• Form 4 large patties.
• Cook the patties as you would a hamburger. They should not be cooked rare, but a barely pink center is okay.

Steps:

• Put all of the ingredients for the sauce in food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a small serving dish and reserve.
• Put the red onion rings in a small bowl and separate the rings. Add the lime juice and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Add the lamb to a mixing bowl along with the garlic, chile, ginger, spices, cinnamon, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix to combine. Form the meat mixture into 4 sections and make 2 slider-size patties form each portion, 8 (3-ounce) burgers in total, thinner at the center and thicker at the edges.
• Heat a large skillet or a griddle pan with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook a few minutes on each side.
• Put a few leaves of spinach on each of the bun bottoms and add the burger. Top with the onions and green sauce. Cover with the bun tops and serve.
• * Toast and grind your own coriander and cumin if you have a coffee grinder or spice mill.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan, fry the onions with the ginger, garlic and spices for 5 mins until soft, then tip into a large bowl to cool.
• Mix together the lamb, peas and egg with the onion and season with a little salt. Shape the mixture into 12 patties. You can freeze for up to one month at this stage, then defrost in the fridge. Alternatively, refrigerate up to 1 day in advance. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and fry the patties, 4 mins each side, or until cooked through.

Steps:

• Lamb should be put through grinder three times.
• Mix in salt and pepper to taste, before adding bulgur and onions.
• Add salt to finely chopped green pepper, finely chopped green onions and finely chopped handful of parsley.
• Squeeze vegetables with hands to draw moisture and add to lamb.
• Also add cayenne pepper, if desired.
• Knead all together adding a little water until all ingredients stick together.
• Shape into patties and garnish with chopped parsley.
• Serve at once.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the lamb through the rosemary until well blended.
• Shape into small patties.
• In a large skillet, heat wine over medium heat and cook patties, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes for medium or 20 minutes for well-done.

Steps:

• Put the lamb in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Melt half of the butter in a saucepan and add one cup of the chopped onion and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Let cool briefly and add to the lamb.
• Add the bread crumbs, egg and almonds and blend well.
• Divide the mixture into eight portions and shape each into a round ball. Flatten the balls into round patties, each about one inch thick.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the patties in one layer. Add the patties and cook three minutes or until golden brown. Turn the patties and continue cooking three or four minutes on the second side. Transfer the patties to a warm platter.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a saucepan and add the remaining two tablespoons of chopped onion and the curry powder. Cook, stirring, until the onion is wilted. Add the broth and cook until the broth is cooked down by half. Add the cream and grapes and cook down about one minute. Pour the grape sauce over the meat patties and serve.

Steps:

• For lamb patties:
• Combine breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup water in small bowl. Soak 5 minutes. Squeeze all water from crumbs. Place crumbs in large bowl. Add lamb and remaining ingredients; mix gently to combine. Shape into 12 oval patties, each about 2 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch thick.
• For eggplant mixture:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cubed eggplant and 4 tablespoons oil in large bowl and toss to coat. Spread eggplant out on rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Bake 12 minutes. Turn eggplant over and bake until soft, about 12 minutes longer.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb patties and sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer lamb patties to plate. Add bell pepper strips to drippings in skillet; sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Transfer bell pepper to plate with lamb.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and chopped onion to same skillet. Cover and cook until onion is soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add wine and garlic. Cook, scraping up browned bits, until wine is reduced to glaze, about 7 minutes. Return lamb and bell pepper to skillet; add eggplant, tomatoes, and marjoram. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until lamb is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. If sauce is thin, simmer uncovered until thickened to desired consistency. Season sauce to taste with coarse salt and pepper.
• Polenta:
• Bring 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until polenta is very thick, whisking often, about 20 minutes.
• Spoon polenta into shallow bowls. Top with lamb and vegetables. Sprinkle with pecorino cheese.
• Sold at some supermarkets and at natural foods stores and Italian markets. If unavailable, substitute an equal amount of regular yellow cornmeal and cook about half as long.

Steps:

• Make raita:
• In a small bowl stir together all raita ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
• Make patties:
• In a large bowl mix together all patty ingredients except oil until combined well and season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into 4 patties about 1 inch thick. In a large heavy skillet oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and cook patties until just cooked through, about 3 1/2 minutes on each side.
• Serve lamb patties with raita.
