Ingredients

Calculated for 6 buffet portions

500 g minced lamb
2 slices of white bread
1 dl crème fraîche
1 egg
1 clove of garlic, grated
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
salt
black pepper

Gremolata

1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
1 lemon, grated peel
garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
salt

Beetroot stir-fry

1 large beetroot
75 g goat cheese
2 dl crème fraîche

For serving

oven-roasted potatoes
possibly beetroot sprouts


Do this:

Mix the bread slices into crumbs.
Mix the ingredients for the minced meat and form patties.
Many small ones for a buffet, larger ones if they are to be eaten as a separate meal (then the recipe is enough for 4 servings).
Fry until nicely browned over medium heat.
Mix the ingredients for the gremolata.
Boil the beetroot until soft.
Expect it to take around 30 minutes.
Test with a skewer to see if it's done.
Let cool.
Blend the chèvre cheese into a smooth cream.
Coarsely grate the beetroot.
Mix the cheese with the beetroot and crème fraiche.
Place in a bowl.
Serve the steaks sprinkled with gremolata.
Roasted potatoes are suitable when the steaks are served separately.
Garnish with beetroot sprouts if desired.

1. I wanted to make a nice Greek menu for some friends, so I started in the meat dept., looking at lamb.

When I found that lamb for 4 was over $60, I made a new plan. JFC!!! How do people live nowadays?

For a party at our house a few days after our wedding, I served lamb "roast." Obviously, lambs are too small to yield anything like a pork or beef roast, but it was rolled and tied and looked like a roast. The store had mis-labelled it, and I bought the only 2...each under $13!!! It was AWESOME!!!
