Ingredients

  • 130 g Lamb, ground, raw
  • 200 g Eggplant, raw
  • 60 g Yogurt, Greek
  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 8 g Butter, unsalted
  • 1 g Paprika

  • 1.5 g Salt

Method

  1. Char the eggplants directly over a flame or under a hot broiler, turning, until the skins are blackened and the flesh is soft, about 10-12 minutes; let cool, then peel and finely chop the flesh.
  2. Mix the smoky eggplant with the yogurt, crushed garlic and a pinch of salt; warm gently with half the butter for 2-3 minutes to make the eggplant puree.
  3. Mix the ground lamb with the grated onion, salt and black pepper, and shape into small flat patties or onto skewers.
  4. Grill the lamb for 3-4 minutes a side until cooked through and lightly charred.
  5. Melt the rest of the butter with the paprika and briefly cook the chopped tomato in it for 2-3 minutes to make a quick red sauce.
  6. Spread the warm eggplant-yogurt puree on a plate and arrange the grilled lamb on top.
  7. Spoon over the paprika-tomato butter and serve immediately.
