This is one of those times I'd like to have more than 5 stars available for rating. With each bite, my husband and I were like, "Mmmm, good. Wow, this is very nice. VERY nice. Oh man, this is REALLY, REALLY AWESOME!" It's gone straight into my "Encore" cookbook for many future days' creating. Changes: I'm not a lamb fan, so I substituted ground pork for that, which was a great combination with the beef and spices. We cooked them in patties on the grill. I also omitted the mint in the sauce for our tastes. Served with pitas and huge glasses of ice water and voila... heaven! Thank you so much for a perfect recipe, Sue!
