Minced Lamb and Raisin Flan de Carne
The Minced Lamb and Raisin Flan de Carne is a delightful fusion of Moorish influences and Iberian tradition. With roots embedded deeply in Spanish culinary heritage, this dish presents a rich tapestry of flavors: the warmth of spices, the sweetness of raisins, and the savory depth of lamb. Though unconventional, it offers a modern twist on classic fillings, making it a sensational centerpiece for any dining occasion.
Ingredients
500 grams ground lamb (minced lamb) - preferably organic
1 cup raisins - soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
1 medium onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 teaspoon cinnamon - ground
1 teaspoon cumin - ground
1 teaspoon paprika - smoked
2 tablespoons pine nuts - lightly toasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.Add the minced garlic, followed by the minced lamb.
- Cook until lamb is browned and emits a rich, savory aroma. Stir in the cinnamon, cumin, and paprika, allowing the spices to bloom for an additional minute.
- Drain the raisins and add them to the skillet with the lamb mixture along with the toasted pine nuts. Season with salt to taste.
- Transfer the mixture into a flan dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the surface starts to caramelize and slightly crispen.
- Remove from the oven, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Notes
For added flavor, try using golden raisins or a touch of saffron for a floral note. If lamb isn't to your taste, consider substituting with minced beef or a mushroom mix for a vegetarian twist.
