Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Imagine if you will that a lamb meat patty married a corn fritter and they had babies = Lamb corn Fritters. I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought of this sooner. They are healthier than regular lamb fritters; being half meat and half veggie and they are super juicy and flavorful.

Here’s a healthy recipe for Lamb Corn Fritters – without deep frying! Because nobody likes soggy fritters. And nobody wants to deal with a vat of oil tonight! Dinner really doesn’t get any easier than this! These Lamb Corn Fritters are so easy, you can practically whip up these juicy fritters in no time!

These fritters are ideal to make with fresh corn cut off the cob, but can be made with canned or frozen corn. Serve for breakfast, lunch, dinner!

Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe

What you need to make really great, Lamb Corn Fritters

Here’s what you need to make these Lamb Corn fritters:

Ground Lamb: I like to grind my lamb at a ratio of about 80% lean. I feel this brings out the most flavor. The best places to buy fresh ground lamb is your local butcher shop. If you want to use lamb, ask your butcher to grind it for you or, to make your own ground lamb, start with a lean cut. You can also use lean ground beef or turkey instead.
Corn: as noted above, fresh is better for both flavor and crispiness. But canned and frozen work too, you just need to make an effort to dry it out as much as you can.
Egg: egg to bind the meat and corns. It will help to get mince to stick together better.
Ricotta Cheese: – for a good hit of savory flavor AND to make the fritters extra juicy and flavorful!
Green Masala: Green onion, green chilies and coriander – for a hit of freshness.
Seasoning: salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes (my fav)
Olive oil: to sauté

Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe

How to make Lamb Corn Fritters

And here’s how to make them.
1. Mixing: Place lamb mince and corn in a bowl. Then add 1 lb fresh ground lamb. 1 egg, finely sliced green chilies, green onions, fresh coriander, salt, black pepper, red pepper and 1 cup ricotta cheese. Mix until well combined. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Cooking: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp. extra light olive oil. Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hand and form a oval or round shaped patty about 1/3-inch thick. Cook over medium heat uncovered for 5-7 minutes, then flip, cover and cook for another 5 minutes more or until meat cooked through. Add more oil to the pan as needed for subsequent batches.
3. The fritters take a good 12-15 minutes to cook so they’re golden on the outside and for the raw meat to cook through (remember, these are fritters so they are not very thick).
4. Pro Tip: You can use an ice cream scooper with a lever to scoop the batter into the pan. Then flatten using a greased spatula! But don’t crowd the skillet, adding more oil to pan if required.
Lamb Corn Fritters Recipe

How to serve corn fritters

Corn fritters is one of those rare foods that truly spans the breakfast-lunch-dinner spectrum! Here’s how to serve it.
- stack of 4 corn fritters topped with poached or pan fried egg (runny yolks of course!)
- dollop of sour cream or yogurt – or go all out with Jalapeno Cream Sauce
- optional extras: side of toast or bun (try this simple Buttermilk Rolls
- finishes: small side of lightly dressed leafy green salad
- To make it a meal, the bread fills it out nicely, though you could opt for a big salad instead – try one of these: Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad, Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs, Russian Macaroni Salad ,Apple and Orange Salad
Though having suggested those various ways to serve it, the reality is that you will want to snatch them fresh off the stove, before you’ve even had a chance to plate them up properly. And that’s totally ok too! – Bushra

Dry meat isn’t going to make this roasted lamb burger particularly appetizing. Sure, gravy can fix it to an extent, but not really.

This meatball pizza, made with a secret sauce, mozzarella cheese, and the surprise element of juicy chicken meatballs piled atop pizza dough, takes homemade pizza to a whole new and indulgent level. That’s better than takeout.

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

Chewy crust, spicy sauce, meatballs and plenty of melted cheese? Ummmm…. yes, please.

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

Pizza is always a winner in our house and cheesy meatballs are definitely comfort food around here, so we threw together a super easy, super cheesy meatball pizza. Make a big batch of meatballs and freeze in portions along with this fresh pizza dough recipe so you’ll have meatball pizzas ready to go when you want them.

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

You can use frozen meatballs to save on time but you will have to adjust points accordingly, I prefer to make my own and I added a little pizza flare to mine.

How do you make Meatball Pizza?

1. A pizza pan is rubbed with a little bit of oil. Pizza dough is spread into the pan, poked with a fork. Then spread prepared sauce over it.

2. The topping is assembled by cooking the meatballs in a hot pan.

4. Then baked in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden and crust is cooked! Remove from the oven and cut into the wedges. ENJOY 🙂

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

Where is the best place to buy Pizza dough?
1. Most markets have some sort of pizza dough that they sell. You’ll probably be able to find the kind of pizza dough in the can (not my favorite), and some will offer it in a little plastic baggie (probably a better product and likely more fresh).
2. I do have a tip for the best place to buy pizza dough. Most pizza restaurants will likely be willing to sell you a ball of their pizza dough. Just ask! That’s going to be your best bet for good pizza dough!
3. You can also make your own. I have good recipe for Easy Pizza Dough.
What are the best toppings for pizza?
1. If you’re a meat lover, you’ll most likely enjoy some sort of meat lover’s pizza like this Meatball Pizza! BBQ Chicken Pizza is my another favorite.
2. And my personal choice for pizza topping is Bell Peppers, Olives and Pineapple. Chicken Chunks, Sausage are also popular pizza toppings ( but I don’t like it that much).
3. Some people like to add olives, corn, goat cheese, spinach and more. The possibilities are endless!
It’s pretty likely that everyone in your family will enjoy this Meatball Pizza. It’s a nice, quick and easy dinner for those nights that are crazy!

Stuffed Chicken Buns

How to Bake Perfect Stuffed Chicken Buns every time!

Stuffed Chicken Buns
1. Dough: These stuffed buns are an easy bake with only a single rise needed for the dough. That makes it a comparatively quicker snack. When making anything with yeast, including these buns, let the dough rise to the point the recipe says it should, e.g., “Let the dough rise till it’s doubled in bulk.” Rising times are only a guide; there are so many variables in yeast baking (how you knead the dough; what kind of yeast you use) that it’s impossible to say that bread dough will ALWAYS double in bulk in a specific amount of time.
2. Stuffing: They prepared a cheesy chicken filling and stuff into these soft buns and life will be so much simpler for you. You can fill up your buns with lots of different things. I like to add some mushrooms and olives to mine, but you can use any kind of vegetables, meat stuffing you prefer! Pizza sauce would be another great addition. Or throw in some fresh herbs. Oh, the possibilities are endless!
3. Shaping: Shape them as per your liking and bake. For slightly smaller buns, divide the dough into 12 pieces instead of 10. Bake the buns for 12 to 15 minutes, instead of 15 to 18 minutes. And how about “slider buns” — about 3″ in diameter? Divide the dough into 24 pieces, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Proceed with the recipe as written.
4. Alternative way of Shaping: What’s another easy way to shape buns, besides rolling them into balls and flattening? Gently deflate the dough, and form it into a smooth 8″ log. Slice the log as though you were slicing cinnamon buns. Gently pull each slice into a circle.
5. Brushing: Brushing buns with melted butter will give them a soft, light golden crust. Brushing with an egg-white wash (1 egg white beaten with 1/4 cup water) will give them a shinier, darker crust. For seeded buns, brush with the egg wash; it’ll make the seeds adhere. And, feel free to add the extra yolk to the dough, reserving the white for the wash.

And serve with your favorite dips and sauces.

Double Up and Freeze a Batch:

Two of my favorite food groups—eggs and toast—unite in this take on the playful dish also known as egg in a hole, Egg in a Basket or Egg in a Boat or, more simply, egg in toast. I fancy it up by filling the bread center with mince crust and topping with basil or chili flakes. And It came out so delicious!

Egg in-a-hole – Look at that perfect texture !!

For this recipe, I used a normal mince kabab mixture for filling the bread , to keep it low carb. The outside was crunchy and crispy and inside was so juicy and tasted so good with the egg in the middle. A nice way to add some more protein to a sandwich, while also providing something of a sauce from the egg yolk (depending on how you cook your egg). It’s adds just a little oomph of flavor to the sandwich.

Watch carefully as you cook the mince crust, and don’t raise the heat higher than medium: The goal is for the mince crust to brown and the egg to set simultaneously. Save the crust center for making breadcrumbs.

Also how well the eggs must be cooked is a personal choice. Some like over easy, sunnyside up or completely cooked through. No matter how you make it, this will remain a favorite breakfast option passed on for many generations to come. When you make this cute breakfast-for-dinner recipe, you can vary it by using cheese, vegetables or sauteed Spinach in place of the mince filling.

This Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe can be an excellent addition to a healthy weight loss diet. They’re not only low-carb and low in calories but also high in protein and fiber that keep you feeling full.

I’m really excited to share this recipe with you.

Restaurant Style Tawa Fish Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

This Restaurant Style Tawa Fish is a thing of beauty, with its crispy golden crust and spicy, juicy flesh inside. It’s a super quick and can be ready in less than 20 minutes and tastes just like the restaurant’s you would think it’s take-out. Recreate your favorite Tawa Fish cheaper and better at home!

Restaurant Style Tawa Fish

One of the things I find so much fun about food blogging as a living is putting myself up to the challenge of recreating restaurant favorites at home. Although often involving a series of trial and error, it’s very rewarding to come up with a homemade version that’s pretty close to, if not better, than the original.

Restaurant Style Tawa Fish

The way I cook this Tawa Fish is a little unorthodox – but it’s a highly effective, no fail method! A blast of heat in a griddle pan and a basting of mustard oil and fish own juices does wonders for plain fish.

This Restaurant Style Tawa Fish is made with a basic combination of rice flour and desi seasonings. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this dish. The fish fries up crispy and delicious. The cooking time is so short that the smell — which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering — will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of spicy fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with rice flour and spices, mustard oil , perfumed with fresh Lemon wedges, paired with apricot chutney and naan.

Restaurant Style Tawa Fish

Rohu and Catla (Thela) Fish are two excellent choices for Tawa Fish, but baam, cod, or any other mild white fish should work fine. You can use any fish but my preference is rohu, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. Be careful not to overcook thin fillets.
If the fish starts browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a splash of mustard oil to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

How to cook Perfect Tawa Fish every time!

1. Use a heavy duty Griddle (Tawa) – it DOES NOT need to be a non stick griddle or pan! Contrary to popular belief, it’s not just about using a non stick pan. A thin, cheap non stick pan will cause the fish to be in closer and harsher contact with the stove, causing the fish to brown unevenly in the few minutes it’s on the stove. Some crispy patches, some not so crispy ones.
Use a heavy duty Griddle (Tawa), like a cast iron pan or a good quality, heavy non stick frying pan. I love my Griddle Pan, it heats better, and more evenly, which really helps to get an even, golden, crispy crust.

2. Heat the pan first before adding the oil – I have NEVER had problems with fish sticking to the pan since I adopted this technique. It’s just an easy way to ensure the oil is hot enough but not too hot (a common mistake people make).
To do this, just heat a dry pan, and as soon as you see small wisps of smoke, add oil, swirl to coat base, then immediately add the fish.

3. If it sticks a bit, do not move until it naturally releases – Most fish fillets will initially stick to the pan as they start to cook (unless you’re using so much oil you’re basically shallow frying them). But it naturally releases once the surface is cooked and golden.
So give it a nudge, and if it doesn’t want to move, then it means that it’s not ready. So just leave it and try again in another 15 seconds or so!

4. Pat fish dry – Dry fish = crispier surface. Especially important for thawed frozen fish.

5. Keep Basting with a little oil and its own juices – it will gives nice juicy flavor.

Packed generously with a crunchy coating but there is so much more to it than what meets the eye! The flavor beneath the crunchy golden layer is delicious because of the magical spice that hits you with the first bite!! This is one fish that everyone is sure to love. Using this Restaurant Style Tawa Fish recipe, you’ll get perfectly flavored tawa fish.

Restaurant Style Tawa Fish

That’s one last picture before you go. So that you can get a close, hard look at this Restaurant Style Tawa Fish and get tempted. Oh so so tempted.

Restaurant Style Tawa Fish Recipe

Sauces or Chutney For Tawa Fish

With well seasoned crispy golden texture outside and spicy juicy flesh inside, I don’t need anything more than a squeeze of fresh lemon. But I am a sauce person, so I never turn down a sauce even for fish! Here are my few favorite Sauces for Tawa Fish:
- Apricot Chutney (Khubani Ki Chutney) for Tawa Fish – this is an absolute ripper. Totally restaurant worthy, few ingredients, the secret is to soak apricots before preparing the chutney.
- Mint Tamarind Chutney for fish – a shop stopper kind of chutney with its tangy Minty flavor – made with fresh mint leaves and tamarind pulp.
- Imli ki Chutney – traditionally thought of for fried fish but equally good with the Tawa Fish.
- Data Chutney / Khajoor ki Chutney – This smooth chutney, which balances the tartness of vinegar with the sweetness of dates, is a delicious accompaniment to the Tawa Fish & Naan.
- Brown Chutney – for Fish Mellow down the spice of fish by adding a little brown chutney.
- Lemon Chutney for Fish. Lip-smacking chutney to add more zesty flavor to Tawa Fish. It’s finger licking good!
This Restaurant Style Tawa Fish recipe is ‘sea’riously worth trying , it’s cheaper to make at home and tastes so much better!

The Flavorful Mint Chicken Curry Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Spice up your next dinner party with this Flavorful Mint Chicken Curry. Simple, Mild yet Flavorful Chicken curry with fresh mint and yogurt to shake up your weeknights! This Flavorful Mint Chicken Curry Recipe is ultra-easy to whip up on a weeknight, and completely customizable with your favorite seasonings. A nice change from the usual red curries, perfect with naan or rice.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Truth be told – the curry and rice thing is probably my favorite type of food. Coriander, Basil, & Mint Leaves are hands down my favorite herbs of all time. If I could have the herb garden of my dreams, I would plant Mint and Basil everywhere!!

While most of the Pakistani dishes that I cook require coriander as garnish, for this dish, the mint herb paste forms the backbone of the sauce. The combination of fresh coriander and mint makes the dish light and fragrant and gently simmering the chicken in the creamy yogurt ensures that you end up with juicy morsels of meat.
Please make sure that you use the tender , young leaves of Mint in this dish – the harder, older leaves will most probably end up making the dish taste bitter.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

This chicken curry bursts with flavors of mint and creamy yogurt and is bound to make you and your guests happy. The spice level of this dish will vary depending on your taste. I used just 2 green chilies and a pinch of cayenne pepper in this curry to make a mild, family-friendly dish. For more heat, you can add a drizzle of red pepper, some of the seeds of the jalapeño, or some crushed green chilies.

This is a quick and simple recipe to prepare using ingredients that I always have on hand. Less is more – focus on the true tastes by using fewer ingredients. Flavorful and very easy to prepare, this recipes will make your weeknight dinners stress-free . Do try it!

Bismillah let’s get started.
First, You will need some boneless chicken. I prefer the breast because you get some super fine chunks out of it. But you can make both curries with bone-in pieces or boneless pieces of chicken. Obviously, boneless chicken will cook faster, and is my choice when I want to cook a quick curry. BUT, a GOOD chicken curry uses bone-in chicken pieces because the bones flavor the gravy/sauce.

In a blender, pour 1/2 cup of yogurt yogurt, 1 small bunch of mint leaves, coriander leaves, green pepper, garlic ginger paste, cumin powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt and squeezed lemon. Blend until well combined and put in the chicken; Cover and let it marinate for 30 minutes to blend flavors.

You can marinade the chicken for a few hours or even overnight. If you really are in a rush, you can even cook the chicken straight away.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick pan.

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Then add the marinated chicken along with the marination. Cook and stir for 10 minutes on medium flame. Then cover and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until chicken becomes soft .

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Remove the lid and cook on high flame for just few minutes or until sauce is thickened or all water dries up. ( Make sure to not over cook it will ruined the mint taste).

The Flavorful Mint Chicken curry Recipe

Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon, green chili or pepper, if necessary. This Flaovrful Mint Chicken Curry is delicious with anything. We ate it with boiled rice but it is just as good with really soft naan bread.

The Easiest Bread Pizza Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

No time to make your own dough? Same here. Skip the homemade crust for easy, cheesy love in 10 minutes. Use bread slices for the crust and have dinner ready in no time. Loaded with great taste and ready in under 15 minutes start-to-finish, it’s sure to become a family favorite! A fun and flexible recipe you’re sure to make over and over again!

Just try saying no to that

The Easiest Bread Pizza

I could eat pizza all day, every day. But I don’t always have the time to make my own crust. Delivery adds up, and store bought crusts tend to be pretty low quality. That’s where this bread pizza recipe comes in. It isn’t even so much of a recipe, per se, but a guideline for happiness.

I love it for many reasons.
1. First, it fits the quick and easy bill beautifully. Simply places the bread slices, brush with butter, and give it a little broil to create that crunchy-on-the-outside but soft-and-chewy-on-the-inside texture that’s so wonderful in this easiest bread pizza. Then slather on some prepared sauce, load on the toppings, and give it all a quick 6 to 8 minute bake in the oven. Done. Add a side salad or some fresh fruit, and dinner’s served.
2. Second, it tastes delicious. Before piling on the toppings, the bread itself is seasoned with garlic powder and oregano for a little added flavor touch. And then with the classic “supreme” combination of toppings, how could it not be tasty, right?
3. Third, it’s versatile. Change up the toppings to suit any personal tastes. Don’t like veggies? No problem … leave them off. Want more cheese? Great! … load it up. Or hey, get totally crazy and prepare each bread toast differently … perhaps Supreme for one slice, and just pepperoni and cheese for the other. Or, if you like more unique pizza flavor combinations, give My Favorite French Bread Pizza a whirl.
4. Fourth, it reheats well. If you don’t mind soft bread all around, a quick zap in the microwave works great. For that classic bread pizza touch-of-crunch, pop the pizza back in a preheated oven for just a couple of minutes and you’re good to go.
5. And fifth, The Easiest Bread Pizza isn’t just great for a quick and easy dinner, it’s always fabulous for game-day {or any day} snacking, too. Bake some up and slice into fingers for a tasty treat while you’re cheering on your favorite team.
The Easiest Bread Pizza

Bread pizza is one of the quickest & easiest snacks that you can make with minimal ingredients. All you need is of course some bread slices, veggies of your choice, pizza sauce, cheese, leftover chicken, and some seasoning. Easy right?

To make the bread pizza healthier use whole wheat breads or any bread that you fancy. Garlic bread would taste great too.

The Easiest Bread Pizza

There are a few tricks to making this bread pizza taste its best. First, you’ll want to toast the bread for about 5 minutes by itself to crisp it up a bit. Then you’ll add the pizza sauce , cheese (a good melty mozzarella) and your favorite toppings (I liked veggie version, but you can add leftover tikka, seekh kebabs, cooked mince, mushrooms etc choices are endless ) before returning it to the oven to get the cheese melty and the pizza glistening.

And that’s all there is to it! This is great recipe to make with your kids or better yet, let your kids make themselves.

So easy, so yummy!

The Easiest Bread Pizza

Allow to cool for a few minutes, slice and enjoy!

For dinner, I’ll serve it alongside a big salad. For lunch, I usually put out veggies and hummus to go with it. And for an ea snack, I cut each toast into fourths and serve it with fruit. They’re easy to make, easy to eat and easy to clean up after. YES!!

Bismisllah Let’s Get This Started !

Ingredients You will Need:
For Buns Dough
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoon milk powder
- 1/2 cup water (might use less)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups boiled chicken, shredded
- 1 large red onion, finel chopped
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili, crushed
- 4 tablespoon coriander leaves
- 4 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 cup milk
For Assembling Buns
- white & black sesame seeds, as required
- 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tsp milk, for brushing the buns before baking
How to Make Flower Shaped Buns:

Step 1: Sieve the flour and dry milk powder in a large mixing bowl. Make three holes in the flour, and then put sugar, yeast, and salt in each hole. Gently cover the holes with the flour. Then add the oil, melted butter and the egg, and combine together.

Step 2: Pour lukewarm milk in the flour mix. Start kneading together and gradually add the lukewarm water a little at a time. You may not need to use all the water, so add it sparingly until your dough comes together and is nice and soft. Knead for a good 10-15 minutes.When the dough becomes smooth and elastic, it is done. (Note: The more you knead the dough, the softer the buns will be).

Step 3: Touch a bit of oil with your fingertips and apply all over the ball of dough. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap or cover with a damp cloth and set it in a warm place for 40 minutes to an hour for it to double in size.

Step 4 :To Make Chicken Filling – Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a frying pan or wok. Saute onion in butter until transculant. Add flour, salt, pepper and red chili and cook for 2-3 minutes. Now add milk and cook for 4-5 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Add shredded chicken, green chilies, fresh coriander leaves. Stir until well combined and remove from the heat. Let it cool completely.

Step 5: When the dough has risen into a nice big size, take the dough out of the bowl and Punch it down to remove some of the air in the dough.

Step 6: Divide the dough into 16-18 balls, depending on the size of buns you would like.

Step 7: Gently roll out each piece of dough and make a round ball. Flatten a ball until it is about 3 inches in diameter and place 2 tablespoon of chicken filling in the center.

Step 8: Pull up the edges of the rolled out dough and pinch together to firmly seal the filling within.

Step 9: Put the sealed part face down on the board and press the dough into about a 2 inch diameter. Make 8 decorative slits around the edge, equally spaced apart (either using a pizza cutter or sharp knife or even a pair of kitchen scissors).

Step 10 : Place the prepared buns on a greased cooking sheet or tray and cover with a light cloth and let them rise for about 20 minutes to half an hour.

Step 11: Brush each bun with beaten egg yolks and put some black and white sesame seeds in the center of the each bun.

Step 12: Bake the buns, in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.

Step 13: Remove and brush the buns top with melted butter (it will give nice shiny look) and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.. Flower Shaped Buns are ready to serve. ENJOY with your favorite dipping sauce.

These Flower Shaped Buns are definitely a treat for weekend Tea Party. Especially when served with a luxurious garlic sauce generously topped with mayonnaise.

Delicious, tender, juicy Chicken Shashlik Sticks the whole family loves in less than 40 minutes! These Shashlik Sticks are EASY to make and so versatile.

Chicken Shashlik Sticks

When a friend blogger posted Chicken Shashlik Sticks recipe on Instagram AND I saw it pinned on Pinterest on the same day, I knew it was a sign that I had to make this. The pictures looked so good, and the recipe seemed too easy to be true (spoiler alert, it isn’t!). So I added it to my weekly meal plan. I finally got a chance to make it yesterday, and I am praising the convenience and tastiness of this dish.

This is an easy recipe for Tender & Juicy Chicken Shashlik Sticks. The shashlik sticks were loaded with tender pieces of chicken between juicy tomato chunks, sweet peppers and flavorful onions. The chicken was marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce before firing and the sticks were brushed with the leftover marination while they were being cooked. What a great combination of flavors!

Remove from the grill or griddle and serve immediately. The combination of the juicy chicken bites and colorful veggies with the Shashlik sauce is fantastic! I loved how juicy they turned out.

Extra-Bonus Tip:

Make sure you don’t use too big of pieces of chicken because you want everything to cook evenly. I have had one too many (okay, two total- but still that is more than necessary) meals ruined because my chicken wasn’t all the way cooked.

Put your own spin on it. And lemme know how it turns out. Post a photo on Facebook (Recipestable) or on Twitter so I can see how lovely yours turn out.

Happy Dinner Making!!

Homemade Lamb Burgers with Coleslaw Recipe

This homemade Lamb Burgers recipe is so quick and simple to make, with just few ingredients. You won’t want to buy ready-made ever again!

Homemade Lamb Burgers

Lamb burgers are a wonderful alternative to beef burgers and are incredibly easy to make and the spicy rub gives full-on Asian flavour. They can be served with homemade coleslaw, oven-baked Potato Wedges or with a delicious Homemade Hummus.

The lamb, however lean, is rich, packed with protein and nutrients and earthy in flavor. Lamb and herbs are both champions of spring and when combined into a burger and met with a hot grill or pan it marks the intersection of spring and summer.

The burger is simply adorned with creamy cabbage coleslaw, and a tomato seared over the grill to encourage sweetness and to create a texture that melts into the burger. This is the sort of burger that calls for a soft bun; a brioche or potato roll are both great contenders.

These burgers do not fall apart. However, if you want them more dense and hard you can use organic cornstarch. Buy organic to stay away from nasty GMOs.

This recipe is really quite simple and can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd. Use whatever mix of fresh herbs you have on hand keeping to mostly the light leafy ones like mint (lamb LOVES mint) parsley, chives, dill, basil, etc. The lamb mince gives these burgers an excellent texture, but the recipe works equally well with minced beef or chicken, turkey.

It actually doubles as the perfect party food because you can prepare and cook the burgers and coleslaw in advance and just heat them up and prepare the burger buns when needed so you spend more time with guests rather than in the kitchen. IMPRESS guests at your barbecue with these succulent Homemade Lamb burgers, also perfect for simple suppers.

Some Tips to make The Tasty Homemade Lamb Burgers

I’ve added the full recipe below. However here are a few tips…
1. Keep it simple – There are lots of recipes out there that add all sorts to the burgers. In my opinion it’s just not necessary. I use just few simple ingredients – lamb mince, herb seasoning (my fav seasoning), little cheese, egg and bread crumbs.
2. That said, once you can make a great basic burger than why not start having a play with flavorings, you can add all sorts of herbs and spices. I even sometimes go for a hidden cheesy center!
3. Don’t go too lean with your mince. There’s a bit of olive oil added to meat to tenderize and add in a bit of fat. I love the how lean lamb is but for the grill a bit of fat helps to ensure the burgers stay tender and juicy.
4. In all my other recipes with mince I use extra lean so cut down on the fat. However, when you’re making something so simple a little extra fat tastes better.
5. The better the mince the better the burger. These burgers are simple lamb mince with herbs to enhance the flavour. If you buy rubbish mince then there’s no disguising it with other ingredients.
6. Don’t play around with it while it’s cooking. The more you play with it, the more of the juices will flow out and it’ll make your burger drier.

To Make Lamb Burgers
Preheat the oven to 200 degree C.
Lightly grease a baking tray with olive oil.
For the dry rub, pound all the ingredients in a pestle and mortar until combined.
Take it out in a mixing bowl and divide the minced mixture into 4 pieces.
Pat each piece into a ball then squash into a burger, about 1.5 cm thick.
Place the burgers on the greased baking tray. Drizzle some olive oil over the burger patties and cook in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how well you like your burgers done.
You can cook burgers on your barbecue grill or in a griddle pan for 6 to 7 minutes each side, or until done to your liking.
Don’t worry if you think they look burnt, that’s just a combination of the spices, the caramelising lamb fat and the smoke.
When the burgers are nearly ready, toast the buns on the side of the barbecue or griddle pan.
To serve, spread some coleslaw on the toasted buns, top with the burger patties, tomato and olives and squash them into the buns. Enjoy!!

Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this really tasty, easy homemade burger recipe with your favorite toppings.
Extra-Bonus Tips:
For the salad, place the lettuce leaves, mint and edible flowers in a bowl, dress with the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil and tap over the pomegranate seeds to add little capsules of sweetness. Delicious!
I do hope that your plans for this holiday weekend teeter more to the side of savoring than that of to-doing.

Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes Recipe

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

An essential part of the culinary heritage of Pakistan is the celebration of food with family and friends embedded in the concept of ‘dawat’ (feast). And anyone who hosts a ‘dawat’ (feast) knows that there’s always leftovers to deal with. As delicious as Pakistani Dawats (feast) are, you can only have so much roasted meat and stuffing for a meal. Instead of having the same food for the next day, transform the dishes into new ones!

Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes

Last week, we hosted a ‘Family Dinner’ and made the ‘Roasted Chicken with Mashed Potatoes. We usually use leftover roasted meat for a sandwich or rolls with the apricot or mint chutney (sauce), gravy and stuffing, but what about the mashed potatoes? Add some flour, egg and cheese and turn them into mashed potato pancakes! Great for breakfast, lunch, or as a side dish or light dinner . A Perfect way to enjoy leftover potatoes and the flavor combinations are endless!

I love making these Potato Pancakes whenever I have leftover mashed potatoes so I don’t feel like I’m eating the same thing the next day. Serving size will change depending on how much mashed potatoes you have leftover. This works best with cold mashed potatoes.

These are as easy to make as normal pancakes – just mix together the mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, cheese, green onions and seasoning. Then cook the batter in a large pan until golden brown.

With their crispy exterior and creamy, cheesy center, there’s not much to dislike here. I recommend topping these with a sour cream or garlic mayo.

You can really get creative with the seasonings and add ins in this easy recipe! Pretty much anything in your fridge is game… add some spices & herbs, a little bit of meat/protein and whatever veggies you have on hand!

Remember to revel in your own amazingness for reducing food waste, saving time and making the best breakfast ever 🙂
