Spanish Ground Lamb

Still no battery for my camera, funny how sometimes the simplest of errands, take the longest to accomplish. hmmmmm.......

So my apologies for the crummy phone pic.

I'm going to share one of my all time favorites with you today. Spanish ground lamb.

This is so super easy to make.

Ingredients;

Ground lamb, garlic, onion, olives (any kind except for those tasteless canned black ones), fresh tomato (or some tomato paste), sweet or hot smoked paprika, butter, heavy cream, salt and pepper.

Lets say you're making this for 2 people. 1 pound ground lamb, 4 cloves of garlic, 1/4 of a large onion, 6-8 olives, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, one small tomato, 2 tbspoons heavy cream.

Got it ? Let's do it;

In butter, saute the onion, when translucent but not browned add the garlic. When you smell the garlic, add the diced up olives. Saute together for 2 minutes. Add your ground lamb.

when pink starts to disappear, add your smoked paprika and some salt and pepper. Turn down your heat a little and add your diced up tomato. When tomato gets soft, add your heavy cream. Stir well for another minute and serve. A nice glass of heavy, full bodied red wine is perfect with this dish.

This is also a great dish to bring a long if you need to bring food to a party or get together.
