It's All Greek To Me
I got some lamb mince and was wondering what to make.
I've seen a thing where you put a burger mix between to small tortillas and cook that. It seemed like a good option.
So I threw a bunch of herbs and spices in the lamb, and a sweet white onion, then let it rest while making a Greek Salad.
The local market had some great produce, and the chap who runs it is great. We agreed our cooler 18c with cloud was better than the 35c+ many European places Brits holiday in are getting.
I only had spanish olives to hand and I swapped haloumi for feta, so a version of Greek salad
Then, some tzatziki. I'll be honest, there should have been more mint, it was a little on the timid side, but still delicious. I used preserved garlic instead of fresh and the milder taste worked well. The eagle eyed may notice chopped not grated cucumber, that was my bad for not double checking the recipe.
Finally it was time to cook the lamb, and serve
It was a wonderfully simple tea to make, and delicious.
I'll do that again.
Though, the salad is very much what I would have moaned about mum serving 30 years ago. Maybe I'm getting old.

Your lamb mince creation sounds absolutely delightful! The combination of herbs, spices, and sweet white onion must have given it a fantastic flavor. Your improvised Greek salad, despite a few ingredient swaps, seems fresh and vibrant. It's great to hear that the tzatziki turned out well, even if it was a bit light on the mint. Sometimes the best meals come from experimenting with what you have on hand. It's funny how our tastes evolve over time—what we might have turned our noses up at as kids can become our favourites as adults! 😂
Nice
That salad is calling my name 😋

I like the look of the outcome of the meal, so inviting. Sometimes it's good to try out something new from the ordinary menu we know. Good one.
