Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/4 cup almond butter
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 pound ground lamb, preferably shoulder
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 small head of red cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
2 radishes, thinly sliced
4 pita bread or flatbreads
Mixed tender herb leaves (such as cilantro and mint; for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk garlic, almond butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Set sauce aside.
  • Using your hands, gently mix lamb, onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl just to combine. Form into twelve 3/4"-thick patties.
  • Heat a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, cook patties, pressing slightly to flatten, until browned on the outside but still pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; let rest 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss cabbage, cucumber, radishes, and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve lamb patties with pita bread, salad, herbs, and reserved sauce.

This dish was a disappointment. The lamb patties were tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

These lamb patties were a bit dry, but the sauce helped to make them more flavorful. I would recommend using a higher quality lamb next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I actually really enjoyed these patties. The sauce was amazing and really made the dish.

These lamb patties were easy to make and turned out great. The sauce was especially good, with a nice nutty flavor.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The lamb is tender and well-seasoned, and the sauce is rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this again!

The lamb patties were juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and delicious. I served them with rice and a side salad, and it was a perfect meal.

These lamb patties were a hit with my family! The nutty garlic sauce was the perfect complement to the flavorful lamb. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
