πŸ›’ Ingredients

  • βœ“ 280g ground lamb (90/10 lean)
  • βœ“ 1 small onion, sliced into 2 thick rings
  • βœ“ 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • βœ“ Non-stick cooking spray
  • βœ“ 1 tsp ground cumin
  • βœ“ 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • βœ“ 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • βœ“ 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
  • βœ“ 0.75 tsp sea salt
  • βœ“ 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • βœ“ 100g Greek yogurt (0% fat)
  • βœ“ 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • βœ“ 0.5 lemon, juiced
  • βœ“ 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • βœ“ 1 tsp harissa paste
  • βœ“ 50g mixed salad greens (optional base layer)

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

1. Mix the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Set aside. This concentrated blend ensures even distribution without excess oil.
2. Prepare the Lamb Patties: Divide lamb into 4 equal portions (70g each). Gently form each into a patty about 8cm wide and 1.5cm thick. Don't overwork; loose texture keeps them tender. Make a small thumbprint in the centre of each to prevent puffing.
3. Season the Patties: Dust both sides of each patty with the spice blend. Press gently so seasonings adhere. Let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow flavours to penetrate.

4. Char the Onion Rings: Heat 0.5 tbsp olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place onion rings flat and grill 4–5 minutes per side until caramelised and tender. Transfer to a warm plate. Wipe skillet clean.
5. Smash-Fry the Lamb: Return skillet to high heat. Spray with non-stick spray and add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Once shimmering, place patties in pan. Immediately press down firmly with a spatula for 2–3 seconds to create maximum crust contact. Cook 3 minutes without moving, then flip. Press again. Cook 2–3 minutes more until internal temp reaches 63Β°C (medium) and edges are deeply caramelised. Rest 2 minutes.
6. Make the Yogurt-Harissa Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, pomegranate molasses, harissa, and lemon juice until smooth. Season to taste. This cooling sauce balances the spiced heat.
7. Compose the Bowl: Lay onion rings as the base. Top with 2 lamb patties per bowl. Dollop yogurt sauce alongside and drizzle with remaining sauce. Scatter fresh mint over the top for brightness.
