2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion (150g), chopped finely
800g minced lamb
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon ground sumac

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
½ cup (140g) Greek-style yoghurt

1 Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over high heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened and browned lightly. Add lamb, stirring with a wooden spoon or fork to break up any clumps. Cook mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until lamb is browned lightly. Discard excess liquid; continue to cook for a further 5 minutes until lamb is browned and moisture evaporates.
