INGREDIENTS 11
DIFFICULTY EASY
SERVINGS 4

Ingredients

440g can beetroot slices, drained
1/2 cup reduced-fat plain yoghurt
1 garlic clove, peeled, quartered
500g lean lamb mince
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 teaspoons olive oil
50g mesclun salad mix
4 small Turkish bread rolls, halved, toasted

Method

Step 1 Process beetroot, yoghurt and garlic until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2 Place lamb, cumin, coriander, onion and parsley in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Shape mixture into four 2cm-thick patties.
Step 3 Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 5 to 7 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
Step 4 Place salad on roll bases. Top with patties, beetroot mixture and roll tops. Serve.

Notes

Refrigerate patties for 30 minutes before cooking, if time permits. This helps them retain their shape during cooking. Don't cook patties on high heat, or they'll burn before they're cooked through. Try using other breads such as pita pockets or Lebanese bread for wraps. Super saver: Replace lean lamb mince with pork mince and save a total $1.25.

This sweet, meltingly-tender lamb makes a show-stopping dinner party dish

Easy

Serves 6
Prep 20 mins
Cook 3 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

FOR THE LAMB

4 tbsp pomegranate molasses
1 tsp ground cumin
juice 1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves , minced
1 onion , roughly chopped
1 shoulder of lamb , weighing about 1.6kg, lightly scored

FOR THE SALAD

seeds 2 pomegranates
handful flat-leaf parsley leaves
100g bag watercress
1 small red onion , finely diced
1 tbsp olive oil
flatbreads , to serve


Method

Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. In a small bowl, mix the molasses with the cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. Scatter the onion over a casserole dish or a deep roasting tin. Place the lamb on top of the onions. Pour the glaze over the lamb. Rinse the bowl out with about 200ml water, then pour it around - not over - the lamb.
 

Cover the dish with a lid or the tin with a large piece of foil. Roast the lamb, undisturbed, for 3 hrs, then remove the lid or foil and continue to roast for 30 mins to give the lamb colour. When the lamb has had its time, pour off the juices, remove as much fat as possible, then pour the juices back over the lamb.
 

Just before serving, gently toss all the salad ingredients together. Serve the lamb with its sauce, the salad and some warmed flatbreads.
