Grilled Lamb Patties

Lamb Patties by Wannabe Chef CK

Juicy grilled lamb patties

Dig in ...

Yesterday we had rather light dinner. At around 10pm, the kids started to ask for supper. CK took the opportunity to try out a recipe which had been floating in his mind....lamb patties. We had 500 gr of minced meat in the freezer, therefore only 3 patties could be made to feed the hungry boys! If you are interested, you can have this special recipe with CK's blessings.

Ingredients:

500 gr minced lamb
2 yellow onions (cut into cubes)
6 pips garlic (finely chopped)
a pinch of fine salt
a few dashes of Rosemary and black pepper.

Method:

In a mixing bowl, mix all ingredients thoroughly. Divide into few small portion.Shape into a ball of meat and flatten the top.
Grill in an oven for about 10 minutes.
Serve with bread or Naan.

Blessed New Year !

Family favourite! It's finger licking good!

A cup of chinese tea not wine.

This year, we've decided to have a different menu totally for Christmas. We had "Bak Kut Teh" for Christmas Eve dinner ( in a restaurant) and Stir-fry crab for Christmas Dinner instead of the normal Roast Turkey. It was indeed a wonderful and peaceful moment spent with family.

Blessed Christmas to all and May God bless you.
