Directions
-
Place the ground lamb in a large mixing bowl.
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, cooking briefly while stirring until wilted and softened.
-
Sprinkle the cumin over the onion mixture and stir to blend well. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
-
Scrape the cooled onion mixture into the bowl with the lamb. Add the coriander, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste.
-
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until just combined. Shape the mixture into 20 small patties. Set aside.
-
In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced fresh mushrooms, finely chopped shallots, salt, and pepper.
-
Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until all the moisture has evaporated and they begin to brown.
-
Pour in dry white wine and simmer briefly over high heat to reduce slightly.
-
Add chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned), chicken broth, and chopped tarragon. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
In a small bowl, blend arrowroot or cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Stir this mixture into the sauce and cook for another minute until thickened. Keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lamb patties in a single layer.
-
Cook the patties, turning them occasionally, until browned evenly on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
-
Transfer the browned patties into the mushroom sauce. Cover and simmer gently for about 10 minutes until heated through.
