Middle Eastern spiced minced lamb that we use in a myriad of recipes. Easy, delicious and very versatile!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3-4 small red onions, finely chopped
- 4-6 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 kg ground lamb or beef* about 2 pounds
- 2 teaspoon seven spices or all spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1-1.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring continuously.
- Add the crushed garlic, and cook for a further minute or so, then add the minced lamb.
- Cook for a minute, breaking apart any clumps of meat with a wooden spoon, cooking, a good 6-8 minutes until lamb is all cooked through and brown with no pink bits remaining. Keep stirring and breaking apart clumps of meat- you can even use a potato masher to break the meat apart a little.
- If desired, drain any extra fat. Add all the spices (seven spice or all spice, cinnamon, salt and black pepper) and stir to combine. Taste the mince and adjust for seasoning.
Notes
- *The same technique and ingredients are used for either beef or lamb mince, so use whichever meat you most prefer.
- You can easily halve the recipe.
- Storing leftovers: Leftover cooked mince lasts 3 days tightly covered in the fridge
- Freezing lamb mince:
- Mince can be frozen for up to four months, tightly covered. I like to weigh out individual portions (however much I'd typically use in a recipe- like 300-500g (up to 1lb) and keep them in freezer safe Tupperware or freezer bags, labeled with the date I froze them. Then, I can thaw individual portions either overnight in the fridge, or in the microwave right before using.
