Lamb Patties with Chopped Herbs

Ingredients
-
1 pound freshly ground lean lamb
-
3/4 teaspoon salt
-
Freshly ground black pepper
-
2 large cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
-
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
-
1/2 generous teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
-
Oil for the pan
Directions
1.
In a mixing bowl, lightly and thoroughly mix the ground lamb, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, mint, and rosemary. Shape into four patties, each 1-1/4 inches thick. Add just enough oil to a large skillet to make a thin film; heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the patties (take care not to crowd the pan) and brown well on both sides, turning occasionally, until browned, cooked through, and springy firm, 12 to 15 minutes total.
Tips:
Serving Suggestion: Good accompaniments would be rice pilaf and some cucumber yogurt salad.

Moroccan Lamb Stew with Noodles
Paula Wolfert learned a dish called chaariya medfouna from a private cook named Karima. "Chaariya means noodles," Wolfert says. "Medfoun means a surprise or something hidden." Here, steamed noodles cover tender chunks of lamb spiced with cumin.
