Cooking time:
Yield: 4

Ingredients

Lamb Pops

1 pound freshly ground lamb
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons mint jelly
1 bunch fresh mint, very finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup whole almonds, chopped

Curry Raita

1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 English cucumber, shredded
1 tablespoon curry powder
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Lamb Pops

Preheat your oven to 375ºF and turn on your convection fan if you have one.
In a bowl mix the ground lamb with the garlic, mint jelly, mint, salt and pepper. Form into 12 ‘lollipops’ by attaching to small skewers or sticks. Roll the pops in the chopped almonds, then transfer to a baking tray and roast until they’re lightly browned and delicious, about 15 minutes.
