DIRECTIONS
- Blend your onion, pine nuts, olive oil and Dangold spice blends until a smooth paste develops. If the mixture is too dry, add more olive oil.
- Place lamb meat in a large bowl, then add your blended mixture and the chopped apricots. Thoroughly mix together so that flavors are spread evenly.
- Shape patties into 2” diameter balls, press flat, then grill for 6 minutes on each side.
- While you wait to flip your patties, mix together the ingredients for the mint-yogurt sauce.
- Take the patties off the grill when they’ve reached your desired level. Serve on buns or pita bread with a dollop of the mint-yogurt sauce and all your favorite garnishes!
