Middle Eastern Lamb Patties


The Ultrametabolism Cookbook has a fresh twist on lamb patties. Serve them with Naan bread, your favorite tabbouli, Mediterranean salad or grilled veggies.

2 pounds lean ground lamb
1/2 cup minced scallions (about 3 medium scallions)
1/3 cup minced red bell pepper (about 1/2 medium pepper)
1/4 cup minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
crumbled Feta cheese for garnish (Valpreso is our favorite)

Place all ingredients, except the olive oil and cheese in a medium bowl and gently combine the mixture, using care not to excessively compact the meat. Form into 6 patties about 1 inch thick.

Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan that has been brushed with the extra-virgin olive oil. Grill the lamb for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until desired degree of doneness.
