Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and trim the zucchini, then slice them into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the zucchini slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat evenly, then spread the slices out in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and lightly browned.
- While the zucchini is roasting, rinse and drain the canned chickpeas.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Combine the chickpeas with the cherry tomatoes.
- Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
- Wash the spinach and roughly chop it.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, cooked spinach, ground cumin, and freshly chopped parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the ingredients well until evenly incorporated.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 4-6 depending on your preferred size.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice browned crust.
- Serve the lamb and spinach patties hot with the roasted zucchini and chickpea salad on the side.
- Optionally, garnish with a bit of extra chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality lamb mince for the best flavor and texture in your patties.
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly washed and dried before chopping to remove any excess moisture.
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the lamb mince in the cumin and garlic mixture for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Don’t overcook the patties; cook them until they are just done to keep them juicy.
- Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, and pepper just before serving to keep them crispy.
- Feel free to add other herbs like mint or cilantro for a different flavor profile.
