Mince

Camel mince is finely ground meat for sauces, dumplings, kibbeh-style dishes, and meatballs. Lean by nature, it benefits from added fat or a sauce that carries moisture. The flavour is unmistakable once browned—slightly sweet, savoury, and different enough from beef that diners notice. Brown hard for depth in tomato or spice gravies; keep looser mixes for stuffed vegetables and pastries. Cook through safely. Excellent partner to cumin, coriander, dried lime, and chilli pastes.
