Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked couscous or rice
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the Lamb: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground lamb and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is evenly browned.
  2. Season the Meat: Sprinkle the cooked lamb with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to let the spices fully infuse the meat.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a slight kick from the chili flakes.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Begin by placing cooked couscous or rice as the base. Layer the seasoned ground lamb on top, then add halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion for freshness and crunch.
  5. Add the Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the creamy hot honey feta sauce generously over the assembled ingredients. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley to add color and brightness. Serve warm and enjoy.
