Potato cakes with lamb stuffing
Iranian street food, apparently. The recipe comes from the Casa Moro cookbook. The lemons are Opies preserved lemons and the yogurt is just greek yogurt with some milk and garlic:
This close-up shows the filling which is lamb, pine nuts and various spices (coriander, cloves, pepper, nutmeg). I could have done with about 50% more potato because I had loads of filling left over:

It’s been ages since last time I ate R’s food(only for a week?)
The meal was lovely and looks simmilar to croquette but the taste I never had before,something middle eastern,I suppose.
I do love pinenuts!

I don’t think you’d want to have this with rice. Too much rice AND potatoes. They are already very filling.
I really liked these so perhaps next week I should show people how to make them.
