Exploring Middle Eastern Flavors with Spiced Lamb Tacos

Today, I wanted to share a recipe that takes my taste buds on a journey through the vibrant and aromatic flavors of the Middle East. These Spiced Lamb Tacos are a combination of traditional Middle Eastern spices and ingredients, creating a truly adventurous eating experience.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 400g ground lamb
  • 10g sumac
  • 5g cumin
  • 5g coriander
  • 5g paprika
  • 2g cinnamon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 8 small tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

To bring these flavorful tacos to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • spatula
  • chopping board
  • knife
  • mixing bowl
  • citrus juicer

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding the ground lamb. Cook until browned and then add in the sumac, cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon. Stir well to coat the lamb in the aromatic spices.

Next, add in the minced garlic, diced onion, and tomato. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the flavors have melded together. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon to brighten up the dish.

Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the oven, then assemble the Spiced Lamb Tacos by spooning the flavorful lamb mixture into each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 950g, making 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 237g, with an estimated calorie count of 450 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some extra sumac on top of the tacos before serving for an added pop of flavor and color.

I encourage you to give these Spiced Lamb Tacos a try and make them your own by adding your favorite toppings or sauces. Let your taste buds travel to the Middle East with every bite!
