Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 120 grams plain full-fat yogurt
- 1 medium-sized, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (for frying, optional) olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, yogurt, chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Crack the egg into the mixture and add the breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together and can hold its shape.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 8-10 patties depending on size.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil if frying. Alternatively, you can grill the patties on a barbecue or grill pan.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have a nice golden-brown crust.
Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb and yogurt patties with your choice of accompaniments, such as a fresh salad, pita bread, or rice.
