Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground lamb and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
¾ tsp salt
3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil

For the asparagus

1 ½ lb asparagus, woody ends snapped off
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground turmeric

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, parsley, and mint. Mix with your hands until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 1 minute — do not overwork.
