Instructions

1

In a food processor, combine the lamb shoulder cubes, cooked quinoa, finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, and ground cumin. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and just begins to come together. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.

2

Form the mixture into 2 small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Season lightly with salt.

3

Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).

4

Carefully place the lamb patties in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until deeply browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).

5

While the patties are cooking, gently mash the dried apricots with a fork to create a coarse chutney.

6

Serve the lamb and quinoa patties immediately, topped with a small dollop of the mashed apricot chutney and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
