Instructions:
-
Begin by heating some oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onions until they turn translucent, releasing their sweet aroma and adding a flavorful base to the patties.
-
Once the onions are soft and translucent, add in the minced garlic cloves, allowing them to infuse their pungent essence into the mixture, enhancing the overall depth of flavor.
-
After a brief sauté, remove the onion and garlic mixture from the heat, setting it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
-
In a separate bowl, soak the bread crumbs in water, allowing them to absorb moisture and soften, ensuring a tender texture in the final patties.
-
Once the bread crumbs are moistened, gently squeeze out any excess liquid, ensuring they are not too wet, then combine them with the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, creating a cohesive base for the patties.
-
To this aromatic mixture, add the ground lamb, providing a rich and succulent meaty flavor that forms the heart of these delectable patties.
-
Sprinkle in the pine nuts, providing a delightful crunch and nuttiness to each bite, elevating the texture and taste of the patties.
-
Crack the eggs into the mixture, whisking them lightly before incorporating them fully, binding the ingredients together and adding moisture to ensure a juicy final product.
-
Drizzle in the tahini, a creamy and nutty paste made from ground sesame seeds, imparting a distinctive flavor and richness to the patties.
-
Chop the parsley finely, then add it to the mixture along with salt, pepper, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground fennel, and ginger, infusing the patties with a medley of aromatic spices that evoke the vibrant essence of Pakistani cuisine.
-
Gently but thoroughly mix all the ingredients together, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
-
With clean hands, shape the mixture into patties of your desired size, using a gentle touch to form them into uniform shapes, then chill the patties in the refrigerator, allowing them to firm up and hold their shape during cooking.
-
Once the patties are chilled and firm, it’s time to cook them to perfection. You have two delicious options: grilling or broiling.
-
If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, then place the patties on the grates, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness, with a beautifully charred exterior and juicy interior.
-
Alternatively, if broiling, preheat your broiler, then arrange the patties on a broiler pan or baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, placing them under the broiler for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill or broiler, allowing them to rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute and ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
-
Serve these tantalizing Pakistani-style Lamb Patties hot off the grill or broiler, accompanied by your favorite side dishes, such as fluffy rice, crisp salad, or warm naan bread, for a satisfying and flavorful meal that will transport your taste buds to the vibrant streets of Pakistan.
-
Enjoy the exquisite blend of spices, aromas, and textures in every mouthful of these succulent lamb patties, savoring the culinary journey they offer with each bite.
