Herbed lamb sausage with green sauce is a fresh and fragrant Elvish breakfast recipe from Rivendell.
Breakfast in Middle Earth
Journey to Middle Earth for a grand breakfast feast that starts in the peaceful Shire. Put a kettle on the fire and start your day with a variety dishes from the various cultures and races in Tolkien’s Middle Earth. Enjoy the humble, earthy foods of the hobbits, the lush woodland inspired foods of the elves, and the hearty, rustic fare of dwarves and orcs. Visit the kingdoms of men to sample recipes from the fertile farmlands of Gondor and the rolling grasslands of Rohan. This lavish breakfast feast has more than enough to fill both first and second breakfast!
In Rivendell
Enjoy a delectable breakfast prepared from the Elvish kitchens of Rivendell. Rivendell, or Imladris, is a valley sanctuary for the Elves of Eriador. Ruled over by Elrond, Rivendell is nestled in a valley on the western side of the Misty Mountains.
Tender lamb sausage patties are served with a fresh green sauce made from the fragrant herbs gathered from the abundant Elvish gardens. Top with an egg for a satisfying and nourishing Elvish breakfast to start your day.
Ingredients
Lamb: This recipe is made using fresh or frozen ground lamb. Thaw the lamb if frozen.
Fresh herbs: This tangy, vibrant green sauce gets its flavour from a blend of fresh herbs. I like using a blend of parsley, cilantro, and mint leaves.
How to Make Herbed Lamb Sausage with Green Sauce
Make the green sauce
In a blender, combine the parsley, cilantro, and mint leaves. Add the garlic, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. If there isn’t enough liquid to blend the sauce smoothly, add water, a tablespoon at a time, until it blends into a sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Set aside.
Make the sausage patties
To make the sausage, crumble the ground lamb into a mixing bowl. Add the chopped parsley, cilantro, and mint along with the minced garlic, kosher salt, paprika, and pepper. Mix just until combined. Form into twelve thin patties. The patties will constrict while cooking so be sure to make them fairly thin.
Serve the Herbed Lamb Sausage with Green Sauce
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and fry the sausage patties in for 3 to 5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Serve the lamb sausage patties with fried eggs and the green sauce. Enjoy!
