Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dry quinoa
1 pound ground organic lamb meat
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg
1 small Spanish onion or 1/2 large, diced small
Salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup 0-percent-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse the quinoa in a large fine mesh strainer with cold water, then transfer to a small saucepan. Cover with 2 cups cold water, bring to a boil, and then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork and let cool before mixing into the lamb.
  • Mix together the quinoa, lamb, cumin, cayenne, garlic, egg, onions and some salt in a large bowl until the mixture comes together and is smooth. Form the mixture into 4 balls, flatten down into patties and place on baking sheets.
  • Heat a large nonstick saute pan over high heat for 1 minute, and then add the oil. Cook the patties until browned, 3 minutes per side, and then cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Mix together the yogurt and mint in a separate bowl and season with salt.
  • To plate the dish, place the lamb burger over your favorite salad or I recommend a fresh tomato puree. Top each with a dollop of the mint yogurt and serve.

FRESH MINT, LEMON & YOGHURT ICE CREAM



Fresh Mint, Lemon & Yoghurt Ice Cream image

NOT a recipe for the faint-hearted! Unless you have an ice cream machine, there is some whisking to be done throughout the freezing period, but that just means making it on a day when you're going to be home, and keeping your eye on the time! You don't have to sit with it constantly! I've not made this yet, but it really sounds well worth the forward-planning! I found this recipe in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine 'Delicious'. It's Belinda Jeffrey's recipe, her first recipe in this magazine in a section called "fresh start". She says at the beginning of the recipe "Begin this recipe the day before"! Well, yes, you'd need to! This ice cream sounds so delicious - I just love the inclusion of Greek-style yoghurt, absolutely my favourite yoghurt! I'm posting it here for the 2005 Zaar World Tour, as a Greek and as an Australian recipe. Preparation times are rather difficult to calculate: it really does depend on how many times you decide to repeat step 8! I've based my calculation on the minimum preparation time required. I think pistachio nuts would taste great in this recipe, perhaps 1/4 cup, added at the final whisking stage.

Time 7h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups caster sugar
1 1/4 cups tightly packed mint leaves, plus extra mint leaves to garnish
1/2 cup lemon juice, strained
2 cups Greek yogurt
1/2 cup thickened cream, lightly whipped till it forms soft peaks

Steps:

  • Place the sugar and 2 cups (500ml) of cold water in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stop stirring, then increase the heat to medium-high and bring the syrup to the boil.
  • Return the heat to medium and simmer for 12 minutes, occasionally using a brush dipped in cold water to brush down the sides of the pan and to remove any sugar crystals (they are otherwise likely to make the syrup cloudy).
  • Remove from the heat and leave to cool, then pour the mixture into a container and chill.
  • Place the chilled syrup in a blender with mint and lemon juice. Blend at a high speed until the mint is very finely chopped.
  • Place the yoghurt in a large bowl and whisk well until it is smooth, then fold in the whipped cream. Add the syrup and whisk to combine.
  • If you have an ice cream maker, churn the mixture in it. Otherwise, pour it into a large, stainless-steel bowl and freeze for about 3 hours or until frozen 5cm (2 inches) from the edge.
  • Remove the bowl from the freezer and use a whisk or hand-held beaters to give the ice cream a really good whisk, breaking up ice crystals and smoothing it out.
  • Repeat these freezing and whisking steps once more. (For an even smoother texture, repeat these steps a few more times).
  • Pack the ice cream into a container, cover it tightly and freeze it at least overnight or until it is firm.
  • Serve the ice cream with extra mint.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened yogurt for the best results. Greek yogurt is a good option as it has a thicker consistency.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint leaves provide the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it will have a less intense flavor.
  • Add other ingredients to taste: You can add other ingredients to your yogurt with fresh mint, such as honey, maple syrup, or fruit. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Chill before serving: For the best results, chill your yogurt with fresh mint for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve with fresh fruit or granola: Yogurt with fresh mint is a great breakfast or snack on its own, but it can also be served with fresh fruit or granola for a more complete meal.

Conclusion:

Yogurt with fresh mint is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is a healthy and easy-to-make recipe that can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and nutritious snack that is sure to please everyone.
