Choose lamb to change your protein up a bit. Here is a lamb burger with organic lamb purchased at the Saratoga Springs Farmer's Market at Elihu Farm booth. Their adaptation of the recipe from Bon Appetit in 2008 is quick and wonderfully delicious.
All you need is 1/2 cup of fresh mint, (or 1 1/2 tsp dried mint), 2 tsp. paprika, 3/4 tsp. cinnamon. I personally loved using the fresh mint, also available at the farmer's market. Mix it all together then saute in a heavy skillet if you have one. Yum in minutes!! The Meat House has a wonderful Tzatziki sauce for those of you (like me) who love condiments. My kids loved them!!!! That meant no leftovers though!! To make dinner quick I also included tomato's 1/2'd with a spoon of pesto of your choice then broiled in the oven for 5 minutes. I also added in some greens with crumbled feta, chopped red onion, olive oil and red wine vinegar. For a grain cook up some hearty rice (remember to make extra for lunch the next day).
So next Saturday, pick up your lamb, mint, tomato's, greens and cheese at the farmer's market, and pop out this splendid quick and easy yummy lamb dinner!!! Thank you Bob and Mary Pratt for good quality lamb!
