MONDAY SUPPER! CURRIED LAMB AND CHUTNEY RISSOLES/PATTIES

Steps:

• Mince or chop the cooked meat very finely and then add it to the mashed potatoes, mix well.
• Add the grated onion, chutney, curry powder and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
• Turn the mixture onto a floured board and form a wide roll, about 6" to 8" long and 4" in diameter. Cut into 1" slices and shape into round cakes, coat with a little more flour and then dip them into the beaten egg and then coat them with the breadcrumbs. Place them on a plate and allow to chill for 30 minutes for firm up a little. (They can be frozen at this stage.).
• Heat the fat in a frying pan or skillet over a medium heat and fry them gently on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Drain them well on kitchen paper before serving them warm with salad, tomatoes, chutneys, pickles and bread. Allow 2 to 3 rissoles per person depending on size.

CURRIED LAMB PATTIES

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.

CURRIED LAMB AND SPINACH BURGERS

• Divide mixture into 4 equal portions; shape into 1/2 inch thick patties.
• Broil, grill or pan grill the burgers for about 7 minutes on each side or until done.

SPICED MIDDLE EASTERN LAMB PATTIES WITH PITA AND YOGURT

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.

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.
