The Four Seasons Chopped Lamb Steak With Pine Nuts
- 1 pound ground lean lamb
- 6 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt, if desired
- 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
- 13 cup ice water
- Combine the lamb, pine nuts, curry powder, coriander, salt to taste and paprika in a mixing bowl.
- Start blending, gradually adding the ice water.
- Take care not to overwork the mixture or it will become pastelike and toughen when cooked.
- Divide the mixture into four portions of equal weight.
- Shape each portion into a five-inch-long, egg-shaped patty.
- Place the patties on a plate.
- Cover and let chill for two hours before cooking.
- This will bring out the flavor and set the shape.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Place the patties under the broiler.
- Cook five minutes on one side for rare.
- Turn and cook five minutes on the other side.
- Cook longer on each side if more well-done meat is desired.
- Serve with chutney.
