Kitchen Aid Recipes. Lamb Patties

This recipes is a version of a Mediterranean style Ground Lamb Patties. These can be made in Meatballs, small sliders, or burgers. They are spicy, so if you wish to turn down the heat, add less seasonings. In other words reduce the amounts of seasoning to 1/2 of the recipes measurements. I like it spicy therefore , they are just right for me.

Mediterranean Lamb Patties.

1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1/2 tsp ground Tumeric
1/2 tsp Roasted Ground Coriander
1/2 Mediterranean Herb ("Perfect Pinch" brand)
1/4 cup Dried tomatoes
1/4 tsp salt
2 oz  crumble goat cheese.
2 Tablespoons Tomato paste
2 Tablespoons finely chopped Greek Olives.
1 Large Egg
1  pound Ground Lamb.

Place all the ingredients in the Kitchen aid Mixer with the Paddle. Turn on  level 2 and mix until blended. About 1 minute. Not to long or the meat will break down and become  tough. I usually watch it and stop when the ingredients are incorporated  well.

 Shape into patties or balls. Grill on Medium fire.

For sliders, 4 minutes on each side.
For patties, 6 to 8 minutes on each side.

For meatballs. if grilling use a grill pan and cook on medium high with cover down for 10 to 15 minutes.
In the Oven: preheat to 400. put  balls in  a lightly oiled ( I would use olive oil, About 1 Tablespoon)  baking pan, single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

No matter what heat source you use, always cover the meat and let it rest for a few minutes ( about 5)  in order for the moisture to redistribute in the meat. 

You can serve the meat with pitas and tahini sauce, cucumbers and tomatoes.
or on a slide bun with lettuce and tomato and cucumber relish

Enjoy, will serve 8 to 10.
