Lamb Fritters Recipes

LAMB & CHICKPEA FRITTER WRAPS

Steps:

• In a food processor, whizz the chickpeas with the egg for a few mins until almost a purée, but some bits remain. Spoon into a bowl and stir in the mince, spices, two-thirds of the garlic, the chilli and coriander. Season well and form into 12 small fritters.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the fritters in batches for 4 mins on each side, until crisp on the outside and cooked through.
• Top each wrap with a good handful of shredded lettuce, tomato, red onion and 3 fritters. Mix the yogurt with the remaining garlic and spoon a little over the fritters. Wrap up and tuck in, with chips on the side, if you like.

CURRIED LAMB

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb meat in batches until browned on all sides, using additional oil as necessary, about 3 minutes per batch. Set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the onions; cook until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Return the lamb to the Dutch oven; pour in the beef stock and season with salt to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the lamb is very tender, about 1 hour.
• Once the lamb is very tender, remove the lid, and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and lemon juice before serving.

YUMMY FRITTER BATTER

Steps:

• For basic fritter batter: Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir to blend. Add egg and melted margarine; stir until well blended. Add milk (or fruit juice), mix well. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Ham Fritters: Add minced ham to basic batter. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil and deep fry.
• Banana Fritters: Peel and quarter bananas. Dip bananas in batter and saute in margarine until golden brown on all sides.
• Apple Fritters: Stir apples into basic batter. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil and deep fry.
• *Note* You can make peach or apricot fritters by using canned fruit. Use the fruit syrup for the liquid in the basic batter. Dice fruit and mix with batter. Deep fry as for the apple fritters.
