Ingredients




1 medium yellow onion, chopped finely
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon Spanish paprika (not traditional but we threw it in at the end for added flavor)
1 pound ground beef or lamb (we're using lamb)
1/4 cup (1 oz) slivered almonds, toasted
2 slices bread, crusts removed
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon mango chutney or apricot preserves
1/4 cup raisins or chopped dried apricots
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 dry bay leaves

Preparation

1 Oven: 325F 2 Sauté onions & ginger in oil until soft and golden ~10 min, season with salt & pepper. Add the turmeric and curry powder and simmer 1 min or so until fragrant. Add the meat and cook until nicely browned, then stir in the almonds and cook for ~2 min. 3 While the onion mixture is cooking, tear the bread into medium sized pieces and cover with 1/4 milk and a pinch of salt. Once the milk is absorbed add it to the meat and cook for a few minutes more. Stir in the chutney and lemon juice.
