Meal One: Lamb burgers with yogurt sauce
Meal Two: Spaghetti with meatballs
Meal Three: BBQ chicken Sandwiches with Tater tots or Salad
Recipes:
Lamb burgers with yogurt Sauce:
1 1/2 lb ground lamb (I may combine lamb and turkey, whatever you prefer)
1/2 T capers, chopped
1 t garlic
1 t lemon zest
2 t mustard
1 t salt
1/4 t pepper
Mix all ingredients, then form into four-5 even sized patties. Cook on hot grill, 4 minutes per side. Serve on toasted bun with lettuce, tomato and cucumber sauce.
Cucumber Sauce:
1 seeded cucumber, grated
1/2 T salt
2 c plain yogurt, preferably Greek yogurt
2 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
1 1/2 T fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/2 t cumin
1/8 t pepper
extra virgin olive oil
Place grated cucumber in strainer with salt, let drain about 20 minutes. Then combine all ingredients.
Real Spaghetti and Meatballs, by Ina Garten on footnetwork.com
Except that I use Turkey sausage (sweet and hot) rather than the beef, veal, pork combo and I don't make my own bread crumbs, I just use one cup of seasoned breadcrumbs. I also add about 1/4c of the red wine to the meatballs
BBQ Chicken Sandwiches:
Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a ziploc bag with bbq sauce and montreal steak seasoning. Let set for at least 15 minutes. Then grill about 5 minutes per side on hot grill. Then let cooked chicken breasts set for at least 5 minutes. Serve on toasted whole wheat bun spread with a thin layer of ranch dressing. Slice chicken on a slant and layer on bottom bun, top with lettuce, tomato and red onion. Enjoy with either tater tots or a side salad, most likely I will be having tater tots.
