Juicy Lamb Patties

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I was actually pretty social this weekend so I feel like I didn’t get the slowww 🐢 paced weekend that I usually like to have. But…I got to see some amazing people, so that is always worth it. I spent most of Sunday afternoon meal prepping and one of things I made were these insanely juicy Lamb Patties. Lamb used to be very hit or miss for me, with an emphasis on the “miss”.  I tried lamb chops a few times, but they always had a weird taste. But, I started to develop a taste for lamb when I had roasted lamb in a pita… gyro style. The tiny crunchy pieces were amazing.  I don’t have a rotating spit… YET 🤔… so I decided to make some lamb patties. I used the beef tallow that I reserved from when I last made bone broth and combined it into the meat to make sure they didn’t dry out. These can be served on a mezze plate, eaten as a burger, or with a side salad. I served mine alongside some homemade Baba Ganoush and Cucumbers. I added some feta cheese to half the batch, so if you love cheese, I highly recommend that, as well.
