Making Baked Lamb Egg Rolls

This lamb appetizer recipe is a little finicky, but not hard. With a little chopping, rolling, and baking, you will have the best little lamb roll-ups ever. Full instructions are in the recipe card below.

I like to make the sauce first since you can leave it until it is ready to serve. You mix some fig jam with a couple of flavoured balsamic vinegars and water. Cook it down until it reduces to about half. This homemade dipping sauce is so delicious.

Make the egg roll filling. This is the hardest part of the recipe.

• Chop/shred all the vegetables.
• Cook the lamb in a skillet with the seasoning blend. Drain off any excess fat.
• Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for another few minutes.
• Remove from heat and add the cabbage and carrots. Let cool.

Next, you assemble the egg rolls by filling and rolling. Here is a quick infographic. Once they are rolled, bake them for about 15 minutes until they are golden and cripsy.

Remove from the oven, place on a serving platter along with the dipping sauce, and serve.

Suggestions / Recipe Tips

I like to chop and shred my vegetables fresh. If that is not your thing, no problem. You can buy shredded carrots and a ready-made coleslaw mix to save time. Pick up some sliced mushrooms too, then give them a quick chop.

Substitute any of the vegetables you don’t like. Other great options would be snow peas, or bean sprouts.

The egg roll wrappers can be found in the fresh pasta section of the grocery store.

You can use any Moroccan spice blend you like or create your own. I like Ras El Hanout. Add more or less according to your taste.

Lamb can be replaced with any ground meat you like.

The fig jam combined with the fig and pomegranate balsamic vinegar creates a delicious sauce. You can switch up the jam and kinds of vinegar to anything you like. You can always use a store-bought dipping sauce.

Once cooked, they will keep for about 3 days in the fridge. Be sure to wrap them in plastic wrap or foil. Reheat in the oven until hot.

These lamb rolls freeze well. Don’t bake before freezing. Layer on a tray and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes, be sure they are not touching. Once they freeze, place them in a bag or sealed container until you are ready to bake them. They will keep for several months. Baking from frozen will take a few additional minutes.
