Ingredients (per serving):
- 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/4 pound ground lamb
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tahini
Cooking Tips:
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the lamb and vegetables to reduce the amount of oil needed.
- Make sure the brown rice is cooked al dente to prevent it from becoming too mushy when rolled.
- Use a sushi mat to roll the rice and lamb mixture into tight rolls.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked brown rice, ground lamb, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and vegetable mixture and cook until the lamb is browned and the vegetables are tender.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parsley, mint, cilantro, lemon juice, and tahini.
4. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of the lamb and rice mixture over the plastic wrap, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
5. Roll the sushi mat tightly to form a roll. Repeat with the remaining lamb and rice mixture.
6. Chill the rolls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing into rounds.
