Ingredients
- 400g ground lamb
- 1 medium head cauliflower (approx. 500g)
- 100g fresh spinach
- 1 small red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 15g fresh parsley
- 10g fresh mint
- 1 lemon
- 30ml olive oil
- 5g ground cumin
- 5g ground coriander
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1.Prepare the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam or boil until very tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- 2.While the cauliflower cooks, finely chop half the red onion, all the garlic, parsley, and mint. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped herbs, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 4-6 small patties.
- 3.Heat 15ml (1 tablespoon) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- 4.Using the same skillet, add the remaining 15ml of olive oil. Sauté the other half of the onion (thinly sliced) until soft. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
- 5.Place the well-drained, cooked cauliflower into a food processor with the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. For a more rustic texture, you can mash it by hand.
- 6.To serve, spoon the creamy cauliflower mash onto two plates. Top with the sautéed spinach and onions, and place the warm lamb patties alongside. Garnish with any remaining fresh herbs and a wedge of lemon.
