My husband adores lamb. (I love it too.) We have it for dinner usually as a special treat, and recipes calling for minced lamb are a favorite.
My favorite minced lamb dishes are: Keema do Pyaza (Indian), Shepherd's Pie (English), and Greek Lamb Burgers with Feta Cheese.
One day I hope to make it over to Greece and visit some of its beautiful islands including Crete. Moreover, whilst visiting I can imagine dining on the most delicious Mediterranean fare. For instance, I'm dreaming of gyros and souvlaki for the main course. After that, baklava for dessert and a strong Greek coffee to go along with it. Until then, I'll make do with transporting myself to Greece through cooking Greek inspired fare in my Texas kitchen.
