Kibbees
I love fair food. The fair gave rise to such delights as the ice cream cone and the modern hamburger. Last weekend I visited a wool market in the mountains. While there were lots of goats, rabbits, llamas, alpaca, and sheep; there were only a few food vendors. One would think that after looking at cute fiber-bearing animals the last thing you would want to do is eat one, but the wait for Colorado grown lamb was almost fourty-five minutes. Kibbees are a special treat made from ground lamb and cracked wheat and served on a tortilla with tomatoes and yogurt sauce. Here is my best guess at the recipie.
Patties
1 lb ground lamb
1 cup cooked cracked wheat
1 chopped onion
1 tbsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Mix ingrediants and form into patties to grill
Yogurt Sauce
1 plain low fat yogurt (its runnier than full fat, but not as yummy)
1 tsp. snipped fresh chives or 1/2 tsp. dried chives
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. paprika
Dash cayenne pepper
