Recipe of Lamb for Waning Fall Days
Lamb is lean meat that can be prepared in many ways. It has a mild flavor with little or no gamey taste. The tenderness depends on how it was cooked; however, all parts are good when cooked properly. This recipe calls for lamb shoulder chops because they have less fat than leg cuts. They also cook faster than other types of lamb. You may use any amount you prefer. A combination of different amounts will give more variety to your meal. If you do not want to eat lamb during this season, substitute beef chuck
roast instead.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Two tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 pounds boneless lamb shoulder chops
Preparation:
- Heat the oven at 350°F.
- Pour the oil into an 8 x 12-inch baking dish and place in the oven until hot but not
smoking, about 5–10 minutes. - Remove from the oven and add the garlic. Stir well to coat evenly.
- Place the lamb chops in the pan and turn them over to cover both sides. Let’s sit
while preheating the grill. - When ready to serve, remove the chops from the pan, put them on a plate, and
cover them loosely with foil. - Grill each side 4–5 minutes per side, depending upon thickness.

Lamb Patties With Fried Onions And Tahini-Yogurt Sauce
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces ground lamb
- One tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- One teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- One egg white
- One small onion, finely diced
- One clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup tahini paste
- Juice of one lemon
Preparations:
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly using clean hands. Form patties slightly
- larger than golf balls and fry according to directions below. Serve as appetizers or main course.
To Fry Patties:
- In a deep sauté pan, pour vegetable oil to reach halfway up the sides of the pan. Preheat to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with paper towels. Set aside.
- Working in batches, carefully drop patties into heated oil and cook for approximately 10 seconds on each side. Using tongs, gently flip the cake over and repeat the process. Once finished frying, drain on a prepared towel-lined sheet tray. Repeat procedure with additional patties.
Notes:
You can make these patties ahead of time and freeze them. Reheat frozen patties in the microwave for 20 seconds. Tahini paste should be used sparingly; it has an intense flavor, overpowering other flavors. If you want a more tangy taste, add 1/2 tsp lemon zest instead of lemon juice. Serves 4.
