ground lamb, fennel, feta, mint... what's for dinner?

[cristeen]

I have a pound of ground lamb, 2 bulbs of fennel, a pound of feta, some fresh mint, pine nuts, leeks, and all the basics (carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, squash).

But I'm at a loss of what to make for dinner that doesn't involve pasta.

Anybody have any brilliant ideas?

mmmmmm....it sounds like you have the makings for some lamb meatballs/patties. I use ground lamb, salt-pepper, fine chopped onion, sprig of mint, id throw in some feta for more yummy-ness. I bake into either patties or meatballs in the overn for about 35 min at 375. turning to brown.

I use them either served with some white rice and a yogurt-cucumber dipping sauce or use them in those pita tortilla wraps (sorry I dont know the name) and top with the yogurt-cuke sauce/lettuce and any other fixings I might have (feta would be yummy)

total yumminess! We had lamb steaks tonight- oh, my goodness- yummy!!!!

I think I would do some greek meatballs and serve on a salad w/ some feta, and pine nuts.

OH yeah, my favorite thing in the world is lamb meatballs! My kids adore tzatziki and could eat it by the gallon.

braised fennel is so good

I might be a bit late but I would make a Lebanese style pie with the lamb, oinion, garlic, pine nuts and feta. and then I would braise the fennel and have it othe side. Yumm

Do you have any pita?

I would do meatballs too, on salad or pita if you have some
