Method
- Combine ground lamb, garlic, cumin, paprika, harissa, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 pinch pepper in a bowl and mix well by hand.
- Form the meat mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties (3 to 4 inches across). Press an indent in the centre of each patty.
- Heat the grill pan over high heat, then add the patties, working in batches as necessary, cooking 1 to 2 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the raisins and 1 cup of water. Microwave for 1 minute, then drain and set aside.
- Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor in 3 to 4 batches.
Pulse 3 or 4 times until the cauliflower resembles small pebbles. - Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. - Remove from heat. Stir in the raisins, almonds, olive oil, lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season to taste with remaining salt and pepper. Note: Water should be fully evaporated. If not, drain the cauliflower before proceeding.
- Serve the lamb over the cauliflower rice.
