Handcrafted Flavors


If you want amazingly delicious, but simple meals, you’ve got to try these. They hit ever note—savory, tangy, creamy, and fresh. I used a combination of lamb and beef for maximum flavor, (you can use just beef if you want!), cooked them with Moroccan-inspired spices, then loaded onto crisp butter lettuce cups with a homemade garlic shallot yogurt dip and sumac pickled onions that honestly make the whole thing taste restaurant-level. Easy. High-protein. Perfect for meal prep or date night.

Here’s how to make it:

1.For the pickled onions: Toss 1 thinly sliced red onion with 1 tbsp sumac, 5 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Let it sit. And move to the rest.

2.For the Garlic Shallot Yogurt Dip: Mix 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 minced shallot, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

3,For the Meat: heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a pan, sauté ½ minced onion, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tbsp sumac, and 4 tsp Moroccan spice blend (recipe in my cookbook for your own spice blend, or use premade) until golden, add ½ lb ground lamb + ½ lb ground beef. Cook until browned and all moisture is gone (12-15 min). Season with salt + pepper.

4.Finally, Assemble: Break 1 head butter lettuce into cups, spread 2 tbsp yogurt dip in each cup, add 2-3 tbsp of the cooked meat, top with a handful of pickled onions and fresh chopped parsley.

Enjoy immediately or prep everything ahead separately and assemble when ready.

ENJOY!
