Spiced Middle Eastern Lamb Patties with Pita and Yogurt image

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.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 pita sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

Yogurt sauce:
1 cup plain full-fat or low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped herbs, such as mint, dill or cilantro, plus herb sprigs, for serving
Kosher salt
Patties and pita:
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb or beef
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 1 large clove)
1 tablespoon coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika
11/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 pita bread rounds

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.

Time 43m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 pound feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 to 6 rolls or buns
Easy Tzatziki, recipe follows
1 cup Greek whole milk yogurt
1 English cucumber, seeded, finely grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, feta, allspice, parsley, salt and pepper, making sure not to overwork the mixture. Form the lamb mixture into 4 to 6 patties.
  • Heat a grill pan over moderately-high heat and cook the lamb burgers until a nice crust forms, about 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and let cook another 4 minutes. Let the burgers rest 10 minutes. Serve topped with Easy Tzatziki on a roll or bun.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Chill.
  • What Really Makes This Recipe Sing: Allspice is one of those secret weapons in savory foods. You can't put your finger on it, but you know it is there. It was named by the English, because they thought it contained cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Shh, it is also the secret ingredient in Cincinnati-style chili.
  • What to toss in if you have it: Feel free to add some chopped fresh mint to this as well. Having a cocktail party? BYOC and makes these into mini's. Grab one before you serve because they will disappear fast.

SPICED LAMB BURGERS



Spiced Lamb Burgers image

This recipe came from a revelation in the '70s, when my friend Semeon Tsalbins introduced me to the lamb burger. It is ground lamb - shoulder is best - highly seasoned and grilled rare. Because lamb is the most full-flavored of the everyday meats, it makes a more delicious plain burger than beef. Cooked with nothing but salt, it's fantastic. Cooked with a variety of spices, as it is here, it's a game-changer. You can also stuff the burger, as Mr. Tsalbins does on occasion, with smoked mozzarella.

Time 20m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
1 medium (or 1/2 large) onion, peeled and cut into chunks
1 fresh chili, preferably jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Diced mango to garnish (optional)
green and red pepper to garnish (optional)
red onion to garnish (optional)
scallion to garnish (optional)
shredded carrot to garnish (optional)
shredded lettuce, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put lamb and onion into a food processor (in batches if your machine is small) and pulse until coarsely ground. Put in a bowl with chili, coriander, cumin and turmeric, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix, handling the meat as little as possible, until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers.
  • To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare.
  • Garnish with diced mango, green and red pepper, red onion and scallion, and with shredded carrot and lettuce.

SPICY GRILLED LAMB PATTIES



Spicy Grilled Lamb Patties image

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. It was a pleasure to eat such wonderful food as they served! I watched and learned so much from them. My own children and friends and siblings...

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 LB ground lamb
6 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
1/4 cup minced red onion.
1 small sprig(s) fresh rosemary, minced fine
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil to brush on prepared patties before grilling.

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:

  • Choosing the Right Lamb: Select high-quality ground lamb with a good fat ratio (around 20%) for juicy and flavorful patties. Look for lamb from reputable sources to ensure freshness and quality.
  • Seasoning and Flavoring: Experiment with different spices and herbs to create unique flavor combinations. Use a blend of cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic, and chili powder for a classic Middle Eastern taste. Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to suit your preference.
  • Handling the Lamb Gently: Avoid overworking the lamb mixture, as this can result in tough patties. Mix the ingredients just until combined, using a light touch to maintain the lamb's tender texture.
  • Forming the Patties: Shape the lamb mixture into evenly-sized patties, ensuring they are compact but not too dense. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
  • Grilling to Perfection: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates to prevent sticking. Cook the patties for a few minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • Resting the Patties: Once cooked, let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

Spicy grilled lamb patties offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures, making them a perfect choice for a summer barbecue or a weeknight dinner. Experimenting with different seasonings and cooking techniques allows you to customize the patties to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic Middle Eastern taste or a more adventurous flavor profile, these lamb patties are sure to satisfy your cravings. Serve them on pita bread with tzatziki sauce, grilled vegetables, and a side of quinoa or rice for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy the deliciousness of perfectly grilled lamb patties that are juicy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
