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).
¼ cup cassava flour
1 tbsp gelatin
3 tbsp cold water
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup red onion, finely grated
2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp fine sea salt

For cooking

2 tbsp olive oil

For serving

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 3 minutes, until the gelatin has absorbed the water and formed a thick, gel-like mass.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, cassava flour, bloomed gelatin, garlic, red onion, mint, parsley, oregano, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture holds together when pressed — do not overwork it.
