• rosemary
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• ground beef

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2 Process red onion in a food processor until finely minced. Scoop onion into a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze it to release as much moisture as possible.
3. 3 Return onion to the food processor. Add garlic and process until the garlic is well integrated. Blend in marjoram, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
4. 4 Gradually blend ground beef and ground lamb with the onion and seasoning mixture by alternately adding small amounts of each meat to the mixture and processing until well incorporated before adding the next batch.
5. 5 Firmly pack the meat mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, assuring no air pockets are trapped in the meat.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 175 degrees F (80 degrees C).
7. 7 Drain grease and slice thinly to serve.

• green pepper
• cumin seed
• turmeric
• paprika
• fenugreek seed
• lemon
• tomato
• ketchup
• flat-leaf parsley
• pita bread
• feta cheese
• lime
• mint

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Season lamb with salt and pepper, and set aside.
2. 2 Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper and stir until just beginning to brown. Stir in the cumin, turmeric, paprika, and fenugreek.
3. 3 Immediately add the ground lamb. Squeeze lemon wedge over lamb, and drop the peel into the mixture. Break up the meat and stir until it has browned. Remove lemon peel.
4. 4 Stir in the tomatoes, ketchup, and parsley. Continue to simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture should be spreadable but not too wet or the pitas will become soggy.
5. 5 Arrange pitas on a large baking sheet unless you are baking them directly on the oven rack. Spoon meat mixture onto pitas and smooth into an even layer to within 1/8 inch of the edge of the pita. Sprinkle feta cheese on the meat mixture.
6. 6 Bake pitas until the edges are slightly crisp and meat is lightly browned but not dried out, about 10 to 20 minutes depending on whether pitas are on a baking sheet or on the oven rack. Squeeze lime lightly over the top, sprinkle with chopped mint and enjoy!

Instructions

1. 1 Cook lamb in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer lamb to a bowl; drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the skillet.
2. 2 Add onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in garam masala and salt; cook for 1 minute. Return browned lamb to the pan with broth and tomato paste. Reduce the heat and simmer until lamb is fully cooked through and liquid has evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ ground lamb
• green chile pepper
• onion
• soy sauce
• worcestershire sauce
• ginger
• garlic
• white pepper
• cinnamon
• cardamom
• clove
• cilantro
• puff pastry sheet
• egg

Instructions

1. 1 In a large pot, combine the ground lamb, onion, chilies, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Season with ginger and garlic pastes, white pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the meat is evenly browned and the onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in cilantro, cover and set aside.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lay sheets of puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface. Cut each one into 9 squares and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the meat mixture into the center of each square. Brush the edge with water, fold corner over to form a triangle, and press to seal. Do not overstuff the triangles, or they will burst in the oven. Place the patties onto a foil lined baking sheet leaving at least an inch between each one. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg.
3. 3 Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown all over. Serve hot for best flavor.
