About a year ago, I went to a friend's house for dinner and she served this dish. I really loved it and asked her for the recipe. She said she had found it years ago in a Good Housekeeping cookbook and was nice enough to share it with me. It's and easy and delicious way to serve ground lamb. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon salad oil |
1/2 cup slivered almonds |
1 lb ground lamb |
1 1/2 cups chopped onions |
1 beef bouillon cube |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon lime juice or 1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon dried mint |
spinach leaves (optional) |
1 tomato, cut into wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, in hot salad oil, cook slivered almonds, stirring until golden brown. Remove almonds to a plate.
2. Over medium-high heat, in oil remaining in skillet, cook ground lamb and next 5 ingredients, stirring, until meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
3. To lamb, add almonds, lime or lemon juice, and mint. Stir to blend well. Can serve now, or to make a nice presentation, line the platter with spinach leaves; spoon meat mixture onto spinach leaves and garnish with tomato wedges.
