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.

Gadgets Recipes

Thought I would start sharing recipes in which I use the Kitchen Aid Mixer.  We have two, one is a lift Pro 6 qt ( 600 Wt) and the other is a  tilt 4.5 qt  (350 Wt.). The lift is a professional heavy duty one. It is good for making breads and larger items.  I use the Tilt more now, it is so easy to add to the great for daily use. Have made bread in the tilt just fine.

Making Chicken salad is a breeze in the mixer. Here is the recipe for our favorite  chicken salad.

Auntie E's Honey Barbeque Chicken Salad.

I buy the Honey Barbeque raw chicken breast packs from Wegmans. ( they come in packs of two, four or six.)

Cook two of the chicken breast in a 350 F oven on a roasting rack pan. cook for 35-40 minutes. I cook these in the morning while I am doing breakfast then left then cool for about 15 minutes.

Cut lengthwise twice and then crosswise three to four times. making about 1.5 inch pieces.
put them in the mixer bowl , using the metal paddle turn on   Medium setting 3 and process until shredded.   (about 3 to 4 minutes).

Add in 1/4 cup mayo, 2 Tablespoon sweet relish, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon Pepper.

Mix on low 1 speed until mixed. (about 1 minute).

 That's it. I love using the marinated chicken pieces, it really cut down on add too much spices.

So, I was thinking I would add a section just for the Kitchen Aid Mixer. Posting Easy recipes that use less time with the mixer. Be looking for the posting under KitchenAid Recipes titles. there will also be a section on the side bar Labeled KitchenAid recipes. This is hold all the recipes for the mixer.

Oh yes there is a Kitchen Aid Going to My Niece As a Wedding Gift. She want all the help she can get. Therefore this was an idea to help her with her new Cooking Journeys.
