MiddleEastern Lamb Pies

KenfromMI · August 2014

Living in Dearborn which has the largest MiddleEastern population outside the Middle East I figured I'd give their open faced lamb pies a shot on the BGE. First try came out perfect. Found a new spice I like a lot better than their 7 spice as well. Penzey's Turkish Spice. Makes the best Kefta as well. It truly is magic in a jar if you guy's get a chance to try it.

Looks and sounds awesome..Any chance you could post a pic of that Turkish spice you talk about ..It sounds like something I would like to look for.

Penzey's is an independent spice store. They are online if you don't have one locally. I also use their Turkish Aleppo Pepper in place of crushed red pepper in most of my dishes that call for crushed red pepper. I've been using that for years but just bought the Turkish Spice a few weeks back.

I buy a lot of Spice's from them. Very high quality and fresh. Not cheap but worth it.

Looks like a recipe is due. I also like the Aleppo Pepper, nice and sweet. Have you ever used zaatar on lamb. Would bet their Turkish spice has some in it.

Penzey's Turkish Spice is good stuff.

I use Za'atar and Sumac all the time. You can take Za'atar and cheese on the flat breads and its a common breakfast food here in Dearborn in the MiddleEastern households and Bakeries.
