Ingredients

• 1) 680g ground lamb
• 2) 2 tablespoons minced fresh shallot
• 3) 3 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
• 4) 1.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 5) 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6) 0.75 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 7) 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 8) 2 tablespoons water
• 9) 0.25 cup sour cream

Steps

• 1) In a large bowl combine lamb, shallot, 2 teaspoons of the oregano, the cinnamon, salt, pepper, and the water.
  Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. If the lamb mixture is sticky, moisten hands to shape the patties.
• 2) Grill patties, covered, directly over hot coals for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done (160ºF | 71ºC), turning once halfway through grilling time.
• 3) Meanwhile, for sauce, combine feta, sour cream, and remaining oregano

Notes

• 1) There are 8 ribs on this rack, sometimes they have 6 or 7. A suggested serving size is 3 ribs, nutritional info is based on 6 ribs or 3 each.
• 2) Tip on using fresh herbs: Nothing beats the flavor of fresh herbs. Whatever you don’t use right away, wash it, tightly wrap in plastic wrap and freeze in portions.
  When you need fresh herbs, remove from the freezer, it thaws in seconds and is ready to use in any recipe.
• 3) Can use lamb chops or a leg of lamb instead of rack of lamb.
• 4) Might be able to leave out sugar.
