Nordic Moon Ranch's Most Excellent Ground Lamb

Submitted by Bev in NY

"This recipe is great for just about anything you want to fill or top. Use it over rice, serve it in Pita's with Feta Cheese, fill pastry shells, or even have it on toast! It is very flavorful and has an Indian Flair to it."

I always have ground lamb in my freezer, so I was happy to find this recipe. It was very tasty and easy to make. I made this just as written, using the red wine. I served this over rice. Thanx for sharing the recipe!

One thing I dislike about lamb is the gamey flavor, and this recipe gets rid of that. It has a pleasing complex flavor. I really enjoyed this recipe, My pan was too hot when I added the wine, so it ALL evaporated instantly. I added enough more to keep the meat from sticking, and that fixed the problem. Hubby really enjoyed this when I followed the recipe exactly. The first time I made it, I added too many pepper flakes. So, if you follow the recipe, you will enjoy it I'm sure. This is a keeper!

A friend brought over some ground lamb for me to cook. Choose this recipe and was glad I did. I followed it to a "T" except increased broth to a full cup. Made spaghetti squash for her to serve this over. I have pretty much stopped eating meat but this smelled so good, I could not stop myself from eaating some. Really yummy!

Absolutely delicious. I wrapped it in filo dough and topped with feta (hubby's request), and then baked for about half an hour at 350. Served with rice - absolutely delicious! Will definitely be serving again :)

Perfect!!! I took the advice of one poster and put on top of spaghetti squash. I love the flavor. Thank you for posting. This is a keeper.
