Cooking With Lamb
Moroccan Lamb Mince
Recipe / Danielle Minnebo
This dish would go beautifully with my Carrot, Cumin & Lemon Salad, which you can find on page 26.
Serves: 4
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
500g lamb mince
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sumac
1 tsp sea salt
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 cup Greek yoghurt
1 pomegranate, seeds only
Heat olive oil in large frypan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 5 mins until soft and caramelised.
Add lamb mince, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, sumac and sea salt. Cook for a further 10 mins, making sure you’re stirring continuously so lamb mince is broken up. Turn heat to high and cook for a further 5 mins. This will help create crispy edges to lamb mince. Remove from heat, add chopped flat-leaf parsley and mix through.
Add Greek yoghurt to base of a large serving platter and spread across bottom of platter. Top with lamb mince and sprinkle over pomegranate seeds.
Top with more fresh flat-leaf parsley and serve immediately.
You can use this colourful, tasty dish as a starter or as a main.
