Lamb Bites with Fig Balsamic Glaze

Lamb Bites with Fig Balsamic Glaze is a sweet and savory lamb appetizer. Pecorino Romano cheese garnish combines both flavors with a subtle salty finish.

INGREDIENTS

– balsamic vinegar – butter unsalted – fresh thyme – dried figs – brown sugar – salt, omit if using salted butter

STEP 1

Using a small saucepan, combine the Fig Balsamic ingredients. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until reduced and thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

The glaze will thicken further as it cools. If it gets too thick, warm it up slightly on the stove. Stir the cardamom, salt, and pepper into the cubed lamb.

STEP 2

Heat a skillet drizzled with oil until hot. Cook lamb in small batches until browned. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

STEP 3

Add fig balsamic glaze to cooked lamb. Stir to combine. Fill Endive leaves or phyllo cups with lamb.

STEP 4

Garnish with pecorino romano cheese and fresh thyme sprigs.
