Ingredients
1 pound ground lamb
0.5 large onion
, minced
0.5 cups minced fresh parsley
1.25 teaspoons salt
0.75 teaspoons ground allspice
0.75 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Make lamb rolls: Combine lamb, onion, parsley, salt, allspice, and pepper in a large bowl. Roll meat into 2 1/2-inch-long pieces and arrange in a baking pan.
3
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
4
Make potatoes: While meat is cooking, heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add potatoes; fry in hot oil until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.
5
Remove lamb from the oven; drain and discard any fat from meat. Leave the oven on.
6
Make tahini sauce: Blend garlic, lemon juice, water, tahini, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Set sauce aside.
7
Arrange potatoes on top of lamb in the baking dish and pour sauce on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Return the baking pan to the oven.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until lamb is no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 30 minutes more.
