The "Other" Meat

I don't know if it's because I lived in a Muslim country for a bit or what..but I love lamb meat. It has such a great flavor. Here is a recipe I found using it. Lamb meat is expensive here, so you can use ground beef instead..but I don't know if it will be as good. This salad is amazing...
