Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground lamb
- 12 pieces Dried apricots
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 12 pieces Mini pita rounds
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Mint leaves
Instructions
Finely dice the red onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, red onion, garlic, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Chop the dried apricots into small pieces and add them to the lamb mixture. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Form the mixture into 12 small patties, about the size of a tablespoon each.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the lamb patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and a small pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Lightly toast the mini pita rounds in a dry skillet or toaster until warm and slightly crisp.
To assemble the canapés, place one lamb patty on each mini pita round. Top with a dollop of yogurt sauce and garnish with a small mint leaf.
Serve immediately, and enjoy!
