Lamb Pie

I had some ground lamb, and wanted to make something different than lamburgers. Here's what I came up with. Took the ground lamb, and added gremolata (chopped garlic, parsley, and lemon zest) and pressed it into a pie plate. Onto the Egg, dome 350-ish, direct, raised. The pick is after the pattie had cooked to about 115, and I had poured off the rendered fat.
While it was cooking, I mixed some leftover mashed taters with an onion/garlic confit. I spread that as a topping over the lamb.
When that was a little browned, I topped it with grated parmesan, which browned up nicely.
By this time, the internal temp of the lamb was up to 160, and I figured that although ground, it was most likely safe.
Cut it into pie wedges, and me and wife ate it all up.
Overall, pretty good. I thought that the lemon flavor did not go really well with the very savory flavor of the garlic and onion from the confit. Next time I might try a bit of red wine in the lamb, and leave out the lemon. Also, the bottom was just a little burnt. Might leave a bit more of the juices and fat in the pan, and maybe go indirect.

It looks good. The red wine sounds like a fine idea. I would have put your pie dish on top of a pizza stone.

Way nice! If was there I would have fought my way to the front of the line for leftovers! 8 - ),,,

Or maybe if I were to use a real pie plate, pyrex or heavy aluminum. But I was just sort of throwing things together, and the I have a stack of the flimsy pans from pre-made shells.

I'd have been happy to offer you some, but the leftovers amounted to like one big bite. Note to self, for company, make four.

That's very nice indeed! One of the things I like most about this forum is the creative ideas folks come up with, especially simple throw together "What have I got in the refridgerator" kind of stuff. Not to say you didn't put a lot of thought into this one, you obviously did! :woohoo:
