Moroccan Lamb Salad

Course: Appetizer, Salad, Side Dish
Cuisine: Moroccan

Ingredients

  • Lean lamb mince – 500 gm
  • Moroccan spice mix – 2 -3 tbsp this mix is mildly hot so adjust to your preferences
  • Coriander powder – 1 tsp
  • Raisins/sultanas – ½ cup coarsely chopped
  • Birdseye chilli – 1 finely chopped
  • Tomatoes – 2 chopped
  • Lebanese cucumber – 1 chopped
  • Toasted pine nuts – ½ cup
  • Coriander leaves – ½ cup finely chopped
  • 1 lemon zest – grated
  • Salt – to season
  • To serve:
  • Yoghurt – 1 cup
  • Pita bread

Instructions

  • Heat a pan and lightly spray with oil. Add the lamb mince and brown over high heat. Do not lower flame as this tends to draw out moisture from the mince and tends to overcook it. Break up lumps as it browns.
  • When half done, add coriander powder and Moroccan spice mix; mix well. Cook for a minute and add the raisins and chilli. Cook for another 30 seconds and remove from heat.
  • Gently toss through the other ingredients and season with salt if necessary. Serve warm with yoghurt and pita bread.
