SPICED MIDDLE EASTERN LAMB PATTIES WITH PITA AND YOGURT
Whether you spell it kefta or köfte or kufte or some other variation, you can find versions of these lamb or beef meatballs throughout the Middle East. The seasoning mixture here is simple, with spices you should already have on your shelf and you can play around, adding fresh or dried mint, grated onion, or a pinch of cinnamon. And if you like a garlicky yogurt sauce, by all means, add a minced clove.

Steps:
- For the sauce:
- In a small bow, whisk the yogurt with the lemon juice. Stir in the chopped herbs, season with salt and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the patties and pita:
- In a bowl, use your hands to mix together all of the ingredients, except for the pita. Form the mixture into twelve 3-inch oval patties (about 1 inch thick). Arrange the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm
- Preheat a grill for at least 10 minutes and prepare it for grilling over moderately high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, leave one area where you can grill the pita indirectly.
- Oil the grill grates and grill the patties until dark brown grill marks form on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the patties and grill for 4 to 6 minutes longer, until just cooked through.
- Meanwhile, wrap the pita in foil and set the package on the top shelf of a gas grill or in the cooler spot of a charcoal grill and allow them to warm through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Wrap 2 or 3 patties in each pita, spoon some of the yogurt sauce alongside and serve with herb sprigs, passing the remaining yogurt sauce at the table.
SPICY MEATLOAF WITH LAMB, WEIGHT WATCHERS COUNT YOUR POINTS!
Flavorful meatloaf made with a combination of ground lamb, lean ground beef and wonderful spice. I serve on a decorative piece of green leaf lettuce, accompanied by home made, yogurt based Greek Tzatziki (which nicely offsets the spice for 0 points) feta cheese sprinkles, sliced tomatoes and sliced onions. A deliciously complete meal for under 8 points per serving.

Steps:
- Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- In a large skillet, warm the olive oil. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, Tabasco & Worcestershire and seasoning mix. Saute until mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, stirring occasionally while scraping the bottom of the pan, about 6 minutes. Stir in the evaporated milk and tomato paste, continue cooking for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, combine beef, lamb and breadcrumbs. Knead by hand until breadcrumbs are absorbed into meat mixture. Add the egg and egg whites, lightly beaten. Knead again until absorbed. Remove the bay leaves and then add the cooked vegetable mixture. Again, mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
- Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan, transfer the mixture and shape into a loaf about 1 1/2 inches high, 8 inches wide and long. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes on top.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, raise the temperature to 400 and continue to cook another 35 minutes. Let set for 5 minutes before slicing. I slice into 10 pieces by making one cut down the middle and four across.

MEATLOAF WITH GROUND LAMB
I didn't have enough ground beef to make a whole meat loaf, so I made it with half ground lamb and half extra lean ground beef. It turned out to be the most flavourful and juicy meatloaf I have ever made!

MOROCCAN-INSPIRED MEATLOAF
The complex flavors in this meatloaf made me love the entree again after years of turning my nose up at something I considered boring, and my girlfriend who never ate meatloaf gobbles it up! Serve with optional pomegranate BBQ sauce, ketchup, or just the drippings from the meatloaf itself. Very good served with rice pilaf.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and ginger; cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, paprika, cumin, curry powder, cayenne, cinnamon, and black pepper and cook to release flavors, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Combine the lamb and beef in a large bowl. Add cooled vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Mix in bread crumbs, cilantro, eggs, and mint.
- Transfer meatloaf mixture to a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan and set in a baking pan. Pour water in the baking pan to reach halfway up the sides of the loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm and cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the BBQ sauce, if using. Combine ketchup, onion, molasses, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat; bring to a simmer. Cook until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Unmold meatloaf onto a large plate. Slice and serve with the sauce.
