1 lb lean lamb

1 lb lean beef

1 egg white, lightly beaten

1tbsp sweet paprika

2 tbsp onions, finely chopped

Cooking Instructions:

Heat the butter or lard in a small frying pan and when it starts to foam add the onions and garlic. Fry stirring occasionally, until soft, for around 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the lamb, beef, egg and spices in a bowl. When ready, add the onion and garlic mixture. Mix well. Shape into small cylinders, approximately 1" x 2" and arrange in a plate. Cover with plastic wrap, wax paper or a towel and refrigerate for one hour or longer to let the flavours settle and the mixture become firm. Grill or pan fry in medium heat until done to your preference. Serve sprinkled with chopped onions and accompanied with pita bread.
