Lamb patties with a walnut salad and mint sauce

 My husband is out of town for a couple of weeks in his job and I am not a person that enjoy cooking for just myself. If I am by myself I can just as easy eat breakfast for dinner, or popcorn... But to get some ordinary, and more wholesome, food, I invited some friends over for dinner and immediately cooking became fun again! The fact that we had a glas of wine, or two, did not exactly make things worse either. 

Lamb patties

400 g minced lamb
1 crushed clove of garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 egg 
5 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
salt

Walnut salad

mixed salad leaves
tomato
cucumber
walnuts
salt

Mix all ingredients in the minced lamb well and form into small patties. Fry the patties for about 8 minutes. While you cook the patties, you can start preparing the salad. Toast the walnuts in a hot frying pan to enhance their flavour. Mix all the salad ingredients and salt after taste. 

Mint sauce

180 g turkish yogurt
1 crushed clove of garlic
1 tbsp honey
6 mint leaves
salt

Measure the yogurt in a bowl and mix in garlic, honey and salt. Chop the mint leaves and stir the into the rest of the sauce.
