Ingredients
- 200 g Ground lamb
- 2 Eggs
- to taste Salt (optional)
Cooking Steps
Divide the ground lamb into two portions and shape into patties about 1.5cm thick. Season with salt, if using.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat (no extra fat needed, lamb renders its own).
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until well browned and cooked through.
Transfer the patties to a plate and keep warm, leaving the rendered lamb fat in the pan.
Crack the eggs into the same pan and fry in the lamb fat to your liking, about 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk.
Serve the eggs alongside the lamb patties.
Plant & Growing Tips
Mint
- Not in the recipe, but grow mint for a fresh garnish to complement the lamb patties.
- Plant mint in a pot to contain its vigorous spreading habit.
- Provide partial shade in hot climates and keep soil consistently moist.
Rocket (Arugula)
- Not in the recipe, but grow rocket for a peppery side salad to cut the richness.
- Sow seeds directly in spring or autumn in well-drained soil.
- Give plants at least 6 inches of space for good air circulation.
Natural Pest Control
- Hand-pick slugs and snails from young rocket plants, especially after rain.
- Use row covers to protect young rocket from flea beetles, which chew small holes in leaves.
- Check mint for spider mites; spray with a strong stream of water or insecticidal soap.
Harvest
Mint
- Snip leaves or stems as needed, ideally before flowering for the best flavour.
Rocket (Arugula)
- Harvest outer leaves when they are 2-4 inches long for a cut-and-come-again supply.
