This basil lamb casserole is a flavorful twist on your hamburger and macaroni standard. Ground lamb substitutes hamburger, Parmesan cheese substitutes cheddar, and basil is the added touch that brings the dish together.
Basil lamb casserole
1 Tbsp of olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 lbs ground lamb
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 large can of chopped tomatoes
3 cups of macaroni (uncooked) either wheat or quinoa
Salt and pepper
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large sauté pan, cook onions and ground lamb in olive oil, on medium high heat, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and meat is cooked through. While cooking, season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Boil a couple of quarts of water in a large saucepan, add a teaspoon of salt. Add macaroni, reduce heat to simmer. Cook until al dente – firm, not soft.
In a large casserole, lay layers of the meat, tomatoes, macaroni, basil & mint leaves, and Parmesan. Top with Parmesan. Cook in oven for 25-30 min.

Luleh Kebabs- Persian Ground Lamb Kebabs:

27 min 15 min prep
3-4 servings

1 lb ground lamb
1 large onion, grated
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

3. Beat with a spoon until well mixed and the meat turns lighter in color.
4. Take a handful of the mixture and form it around the skewer to approximately 6" long and 1" in diameter to make an elongated patty (it helps to oil hands, and lay out some wax paper to work on).
5. Set kebabs aside on wax paper on another plate until ready to grill.
6. Grill kebabs over hot coals or under broiler until cooked through, turning once.
7. Serve with lemon wedges, and chelou (rice) with a sprinkling of sumak seasoning (optional).

Answer 4

Martha Stewart has a great Shephard's pie recipe that uses ground lamb. It looks amazing!

2 pounds freshly ground lamb
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 carrots, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1 to 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Coarse salt and ground pepper
10 ounces frozen peas, thawed
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons butter

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Heat a large skillet over high heat. In two batches, cook lamb until no longer pink, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to a colander set in a bowl; let fat drain off and discard.

2. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium; add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste. Add flour; cook, stirring, 2 minutes.

3. Add Worcestershire sauce, 2 cups water, and lamb. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in peas; cook 1 minute. Divide among eight 8-ounce ramekins or two 9-inch glass pie dishes.

4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with salted water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.

5. In pan, bring milk and butter to a simmer; remove from heat. Return potatoes; mash. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread over pies; use a fork to make peaks. Bake on a baking sheet until tops are browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly; serve.
