Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 pounds ground lean lamb
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup finely chopped coriander or parsley
1/2 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
pound fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced, about 2 cups
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chopped peeled fresh tomatoes or canned crushed tomatoes
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried
2 teaspoons arrowroot or cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Place the lamb in a mixing bowl.
  • Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a small skillet and add the onions and garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, until wilted. Sprinkle with cumin and stir, blending well. Cool briefly.
  • Scrape the onion mixture into the lamb. Add the coriander, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper. Blend well with fingers and shape the mixture into 20 patties. Set aside.
  • For the mushroom sauce, heat the butter in a saucepan and add the mushrooms, shallots, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until all the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated.
  • Add the wine and simmer briefly over high heat. Add the tomatoes, broth and tarragon. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Blend the arrowroot with the water. Stir into the sauce and cook briefly.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the patties in one layer. Add the patties and turn them so they brown evenly, about 5 minutes. Drain the fat.
  • Add the patties to the sauce, cover and simmer about 10 minutes.
