Ingredients
- 4 oz (113 g) Boneless lamb shoulder, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup (45 g) Cooked quinoa
- 1 tbsp (8 g) Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) Garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp Ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp Cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- 1 tsp (5 g) Olive oil
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Dried apricots, halved
- 1 tsp (2 g) Fresh cilantro, chopped
Method
- 01In 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.
- 02Form the mixture into 2 small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Season lightly with salt.
- 03Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
- 04Carefully 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).
- 05While the patties are cooking, gently mash the dried apricots with a fork to create a coarse chutney.
- 06Serve the lamb and quinoa patties immediately, topped with a small dollop of the mashed apricot chutney and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
