Recipe Story

No story here. I just like to try "non traditional" foods every now and again. Really, it's whatever catches my eye at the supermarket!

Ingredients

 
1 lb. Lean Ground Lamb
 
1 Egg
 
1 Small Jar Fig Preserves
 
1 Small Jar Country Mustard
 
Salt/Pepper (1 Teaspoon @), Garlic Powder(2 Teaspoon), Minced Onion (1 Tablespoon)
 
Spice Rack Spices:
 
- Crushed Mint (2 Tablespoon)
 
- Savory (2 Teaspoon)
 
- Thyme (2 Teaspoons)
 
- Rosemary (1/2 Tablespoon)
 
- Carraway Seeds (1/2 Tablespoon)

Directions

1) Mix all seasonings in a frying pan or skillet, and lightly toast over a medium flame. This isn't ABSOLUTELY necessary, but I find that toasting for just a minute or two really brings out the aroma and flavor of the spices.

2) Mix the spices, ground lamb, and egg in a mixing bowl. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get dirty! Mix that sucker together, and form into two patties, about a half-inch thick.

3) Put your broiler on low (if the setting's available to you), and grab a broiler pan. I said this on the video, but it bears repeating here: NO BROILER PAN = GREASE FIRE. Please don't burn down your house and sue me! IF you don't have a broiler pan, please grill instead?

4) Put the broiler pan 3-4 inches from the heat source, and broil for 8-10 minutes.

5) Ready for an easy sauce? Mix one part country mustard to three parts fig preserves. oh yeah, and mix with a spoon. Can you handle that? CAN YOU!?!?

Melissa, Congratulations on getting featured in Channel of the Day. It is wise that you take your pictures with food. Chocolate and Lamb pictures are looking great. You might want to change Tex-Mex and duck snaps. Great work. Joe
