I love to entertain serving just small bites, plenty of things to chose from and you can graze all night.

That is my favorite way to spend an evening – a glass of wine in one hand, bite sized foods in the other and someone interesting to banter with.

If that someone is cute – then – well, life is perfect 🙂

! lb. minced lamb (make friends with your butcher)

if you can’t find lamb, use any minced meats like beef, chicken, pork or veal

2 Tbs. chopped scallions

2 Tbs. chopped cilantro

½ tsp. salt

pepper

½ tsp. coarsely ground coriander seeds

½ tsp. cumin powder

1 Tbs. oil

8 mini pitas – warmed right before serving

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  Make a small ball and cook it to check the seasoning.  Adjust to your taste and then make 8 flat hockey puck size balls.

Heat a non stick skillet with oil and cook for about 5 minutes on each size.

Lamb can be eating medium rare – adjust time for other meats which need to be cooked through.

Slice pita open and set a lamb patty atop and serve.

Optional – serve with yogurt blended with salt and cilantro.

Until I eat again!
