So you would think that since I am 1/2 lebanese and eat and cook lebanese food A LOT, lamb would be a staple in my house. Well it is, but not until this year. I never ate it growing up. It was one of those things I assumed I didn't like, so I never ate....
Well, this past year a good friend who is Indian cooked lamb and I tried it and it was delicious! HA! So at 30, this Lebanese girl decided she liked lamb! And my girls LOVE it.
I make this simple lamb and its so versatile. This dish is a version of what my good friend cooked me that got me to like it!
Sautee 1/2 onion and 3 fresh garlic pressed
Add 1 lb of ground lamb (i use a lean, young ground lamb)
**you can do more than 1 lb at a time and many times I do, because it makes lots of several fast meals**
Season with salt, red pepper, lemon pepper, cinnamon and tumeric
Let meat brown and cook all the way through
That's it!
For the girls I serve it over rice with Tzatzki sauce on top
Tzatzki Sauce
greek yogurt
chopped fresh mint and basil
1-2 fresh garlic pressed (the more, the spicer and stronger it will be)
you can put chopped fine cucumber and onion too
It was one of those days where we played outside and came in and they were ready to eat and I couldn't get the plates to the table fast enough!
I also added cucumbers and cherry tomatoes halved on their plate for veggies.
For Jerry and I, I made a simple salad and put the ground lamb on top and used the Tzatziki as the dressing.
It makes great pita's too. Lamb, lettuce, tomatoe and tzatziki sauce!
