Lemon Pine Nut Lamb Patties Recipes

LEMON & PINE NUT LAMB PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine the lamb mince, pine nuts, mint, lemon rind, cumin and egg in a large bowl, and mix until well-combined. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape into 6cm (just over 2 inch) patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
• Preheat a BBQ plate on medium, lightly spray the patties with olive oil, cook on the BBQ plate for 5-6 minutes, each side or until they are cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil, to keep warm.
• To make the Tabouli: Place the burghul in a heatproof bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 10 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Then use a fork to separate the grains of burghul; add the tomatoes, mint, parsley and shallots, and stir well until all the ingredients are combined.
• To serve: Divide the tabouli among the serving plates, top with the patties and babaghannoush, and serve with lemon wedges.
