Harissa-Marinated Lamb Salad

Harissa-Marinated Lamb Salad #LoveLambChallenge

This tasty easy lamb salad is a perfect weeknight meal.  Made with roasted vegetables, spicy couscous and tender harissa-marinated lamb, it can be prepared fully or partly in advance and is equally tasty the next day. First lets talk about marinades. A marinade can be complex with lots of herbs and spices or it can be as simple as opening a jar.   This marinade is almost the later.  Don’t even…

Lamb Burgers

500g lamb mince

1 white onion (chopped, fried and left to cool down)

2 cloves of garlic (crushed and fried with onion)

2-3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon powdered paprika

1 teaspoon powdered cumin

1 egg, beaten

Salt and pepper

Easy peasy, mix everything together (add the egg last), shape into 4 patties (mine are slightly oval in order to fit in baguette instead of buns) and whack into the oven at 180 degrees Celcius for about 25 minutes.

Watch out, because lamb releases a LOT of fat when it cooks, I had to take them out to drain the baking tray a couple of times. It would probably be better to grill these so the fat could drain off, but...I don't have a grill. Make sure to reduce the cooking time if you do this.

  For a mint yoghurt sauce, chop up some fresh mint and maybe some finely diced cucumber if you like, too. Stir it into plain yoghurt. Apply to burger. I also served the burgers with sliced tomato and lettuce. Cheese also always helps.

Home Chips

Normally these would be really easy, I just chop the potato up, season with salt, pepper and dried rosemary and whack them in the oven with too much oil to be remotely healthy. But I forgot I was making chips and was hungry so par-boiled the cut up potato for 10 minutes before putting them into the oven to reduce the cooking time. Apparently you can also do this by microwave and then fry them.

Make sure to leave the skin on! After being par-boiled, they took about 30 minutes to brown up in the oven, but if you do them from raw then they take up to an hour, depending on thickness. You will need to turn them over during this time.
