Mince lamb

I allways make Shepherds pie or mousaka. What else can I do?

You can substitute mashed acorn or butternut squash for the mashed potatoes - on your Shepherd's Pie - very tasty.

Keftedes - minced lamb, finely chopped onions, mint, salt & pepper, maybe chopped coriander (leaves, of course) if you want the Cypriot rather than the Greek or Turkish version, fine breadcrumbs. Combine with your hands, form into balls about the size of a golf ball, roll in flour and shallow fry or chargrill.

fry onions and garlic till soft, stir in a couple of desert spoons of a pataks curry PASTE (not sauce, but this is just a personal preference) and fry for a couple of mins more, then add your mince and simmer till cooked. obvious accompaniments are rice, naan and a onion / tomato / mint salsa.
