It cooks quickly, pairs well with virtually any spice, and makes for the perfect high-protein base for any weeknight meal. Here are three recipes that showcase just how versatile ground lamb can be and how easy it can be to put together a delicious dinner worth looking forward to.
Creamy Harissa Lamb Pasta
This creamy Harissa Lamb Pasta is perfect for nights when you want something comforting with a little kick. Spicy harissa paste adds a little bit of heat and balances perfectly with the richness of the ground lamb, while roasted butternut squash brings in a subtle sweetness. Finished with plenty of parmesan, fried sage, and buttery pine nuts, this dish feels indulgent yet simple enough to put together for a busy weeknight.
Middle Eastern–Inspired Lamb Chili
Who doesn’t love a warm cozy bowl of chili? This Middle Eastern-Inspired Lamb Chili is a flavor-packed twist on a reliable classic. It leans into Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spices in place of the typical Tex-Mex flavors. Think paprika, cumin, coriander, and a hint of cinnamon. The ground lamb paired with the beans makes this dish protein-packed and super satiating, so it’s great for those weeknights where you need heartier. It’s also a one-pot meal which means less cleanup!
Air-Fried Lamb Gyro Sliders
These Air-Fried Lamb Gyro Sliders are perfect for those weeknights where you can’t be bothered standing in front of a stovetop. Inspired by classic Greek gyros, all you need to do is season your ground lamb, shape the meat into patties, and then let your air-fryer do the rest! They cook in less than ten minutes, so they’re perfect for busier weeknights where you need a dinner that comes together quickly. Since they’re served slider-style, they’re incredibly easy to assemble and endlessly customizable. Pair them with a dill yogurt sauce or any other toppings you prefer.
