Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, soak 1/2 cup bulgur in 1 cup of hot water. Cover and let it sit for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, pine nuts, spearmint, ground cumin, and egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat a grill pan or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Cook the patties in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and browned.
- While the patties are cooking, combine the cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley, and shallots in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix.
- Serve the lamb patties hot, with a side of bulgur and the shallot-tomato salad. Optionally, you can sprinkle some fresh lemon juice over the patties for an extra zesty flavor.
Tips:
- When combining the lamb mince, pine nuts, spearmint, ground cumin, and egg, ensure everything is evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
- Chill the patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold together better.
- Use a non-stick pan and only a short spray of cooking oil to keep the patties from sticking, while ensuring they are still healthy.
- Toast the pine nuts beforehand to enhance their flavor and add a deeper nutty taste to the patties.
- Serve with freshly chopped parsley and shallots to add a burst of freshness and balance the richness of the lamb.
