Lamb patties, a delectable dish made from ground lamb meat, are a culinary delight enjoyed by many worldwide. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, these patties have gained popularity internationally due to their succulent texture, savory flavors, and versatility. Our article presents a comprehensive guide to crafting perfect lamb patties, featuring three distinct recipes catering to various preferences.
The first recipe, "Classic Lamb Patties," remains true to the traditional Middle Eastern flavors. A harmonious blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika, combined with fresh herbs like parsley and mint, imparts an irresistible savory taste. Accompanied by a refreshing cucumber-yogurt sauce, these patties offer a delectable symphony of flavors.
Next, the "Spiced Lamb Patties with Feta and Pine Nuts" recipe introduces a delightful twist to the classic dish. Inspired by Turkish cuisine, this recipe incorporates a flavorful combination of spices like sumac and allspice, along with crumbled feta cheese and crunchy pine nuts. Served with a tangy tomato-cucumber salsa, these patties deliver a vibrant and satisfying culinary experience.
Finally, the "Grilled Lamb Patties with Chimichurri Sauce" recipe draws inspiration from South American flavors. The patties are seasoned with a zesty blend of parsley, cilantro, and garlic, and grilled to perfection. Accompanied by a vibrant chimichurri sauce, made with fresh herbs, olive oil, and red wine vinegar, these patties offer a burst of South American flair.
SPICED MIDDLE EASTERN LAMB PATTIES WITH PITA AND YOGURT
Whether you spell it kefta or köfte or kufte or some other variation, you can find versions of these lamb or beef meatballs throughout the Middle East. The seasoning mixture here is simple, with spices you should already have on your shelf and you can play around, adding fresh or dried mint, grated onion, or a pinch of cinnamon. And if you like a garlicky yogurt sauce, by all means, add a minced clove.

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.

SPICY LAMB PATTIES
I was forced to create these when my favorite brand stopped making their lamb meatballs, which were a staple in my little food-obsessed world. They're even more scrumptious with a small side of plain yogurt with some mint and cumin stirred into it. Add rice or couscous and a green salad and you have a tasty, easy, somewhat elegant dinner! This recipe can also be used to make meatballs for frying, if you prefer.

JAMAICAN PATTIES; BEEF, CHICKEN, OR LAMB
These are delicious curry-flavored pastries found in the Caribbean islands, particularly in Jamaica. Great as a snack or as a Jamaican meal compliment. I also enjoy them with a spinach, corn, and bean salad. I have used pre-packaged Crescent rolls (2 cylinders rolled out and cut into 10 circles or phyllo dough (15 sheets cut lengthwise to make 30 triangles) as a time saver. Not as good or as spicy as the handmade pastry, but sometimes there's just not enough time. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days an reheat in microwave on medium heat.

MONDAY SUPPER! CURRIED LAMB AND CHUTNEY RISSOLES/PATTIES
A tasty and different way to use some of the Sunday Roast leftovers on Monday! Although I have specified lamb in this recipe, beef would also work very well, it's just that I had roast lamb leftovers when I made these. These rissoles are lightly spiced and tangy - perfect for supper when served with salad, pickles, chutneys and maybe a naan bread or pitta bread to make a sandwich. They are easily made and can be prepared ahead of time and left in the fridge, as they hold their shape better when they have been chilled and are firm. These will also freeze very well; open freeze them before frying on a tray or plate until firm and then pack them into freezer bags or a plastic container. They only need about 6 hours to defrost and then are cooked as instructed below.Use curry powder to taste, I use 2 teaspoons as I like mine quite spicy!

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.

EAST INDIAN LAMB PATTIES
Posting for ZWT3. This is from George Foreman's grilling cookbook. "Ground lamb is appealingly inexpensive, but what to do with it doesn't spring quickly to mind. Cooks have no such problem in India, where lamb commonly appears in dishes similar to this one. The preparation is very simple, and the spices are pungent and exotic. Serve these luscious grilled patties with minted yogurt, a bowl of hot garlicky chickpeas tossed with minced onion, and sautéed baby spinach. Put some store-bought chapattis on the grill to reheat."

SPICY GRILLED LAMB PATTIES
I grew up in a large family of good cooks. My Father was Egyptian and my Mother was half Hungarian and half Italian. I was always an observant person and enjoyed helping my parents cook.

Steps:
- 1. Have lamb at room temperature to assure even cooking. Preheat charcoal or gas grill or use a grill pan indoors on your stovetop.
- 2. Combine all ingredients and blend well. Form into 4 patties of medium thickness so they stay juicy. Brush lightly with olive oil on all sides to prevent sticking.
- 3. Grill over hot coals until a meat thermometer registers medium rare to medium doneness for lamb. Overcooking is NOT recommended for lamb.
- 4. I like to serve these with grilled flatbread and a salad of Lettuce, chopped tomatoes, oil-cured Moroccan olives, a bit of crumbled feta and a sprinkling of toasted pine nuts. I dress the salad very simply using a few TBSPS. good olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper and a bit of Oregano. You may even enjoy combining the patties and salad and making a sandwich with the flatbread. However you choose to eat it, I believe you will enjoy it!
Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for ground lamb with a good fat content, around 20%, for juicy and flavorful patties.
- Season the lamb well: Use a combination of aromatic herbs and spices, such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic powder, to enhance the lamb's flavor.
- Handle the lamb gently: Avoid overworking the lamb mixture, as this can result in tough patties. Mix the ingredients just until combined.
- Chill the lamb patties: Before cooking, chill the lamb patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape and cook evenly.
- Cook the patties over medium heat: This will prevent the patties from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the lamb patties are cooked to your desired doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the center of the patty.
- Let the patties rest: After cooking, let the lamb patties rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful patties.
Conclusion:
Lamb patties are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you prefer them grilled, pan-fried, or baked, these patties are sure to satisfy your taste buds. With the right ingredients and cooking techniques, you can create juicy, flavorful, and tender lamb patties that will be a hit at your next meal.
