(click for larger)I created something new this evening. It was super yummy! I was inspired by a dish I had at a friend's party a few years ago. I think I did good! I was going to surprise bikerbear, but he had some kind of a wardrobe failure and couldn't make it. But luckily gotmoof and ilv2laff were around to help consume them.

• 1 lb. Ground Lamb
  
• 1 medium Onion
  
• 1 bulb of Garlic
  
• 1 jar of Green Olives with Pimentos (drained 5¾ oz)
  
• 1 can of Water Chestnuts (drained 5 oz)
  
• 2 pkgs of crumbled Feta Cheese (4 oz each)
  
• 2 Eggs
  
• 2 pkg Wonton Wrappers (60 count each)

Mince, mix, stuff, fry. I usually use whipped egg to seal the sachets. The fryer should be at around 400°F (thanks to ghostcub for the tip), to fry to golden in about 3 minutes, when boiling seems to start to slow. The wontons will float, so you'll want to stir and submerge them while cooking for an even finish. Cool a little on towels or rack to remove excess oil, serve warm/hot (but they're good cold too). Next time I may add some Oregano. Maybe serve with lemon wedges for juice sprinkles or Tzatziki.

I hope to have some more for Sci Fi Friday tomorrow night...
