Lamb Mince and Potato Rösti
This delightful fusion marries tender spiced lamb with the rustic charm of crispy potato rösti. Derived from traditional Swiss and Mediterranean influences, this dish offers a comforting yet sophisticated dining experience.
Ingredients
500 g ground lamb (minced lamb) - preferably grass-fed
1 large onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tbsp olive oil - extra virgin
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
500 g potatoes - waxy variety, peeled and grated
2 medium eggs - lightly beaten
2 tbsp butter - for frying
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste
¼ cup parsley - fresh, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, ground cumin and coriander, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the lamb mince to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel, and wring out excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with eggs, and season with salt and pepper.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Spread the potato mixture evenly in the pan, pressing down with a spatula. Cook until golden and crispy on each side, about 12-15 minutes total.
- To serve, cut the rösti into wedges, and top with the spiced lamb mince. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For an added layer of flavor, deglaze the pan used for the lamb with a splash of red wine and reduce before combining with the mince.
