In a medium skillet combine dry seasoning ingredients (salt through nutmeg) with 1/2 cup Olive Oil and place over medium/medium-high heat until aroma & color intensifies.
Add garlic, mint, cilantro, and harissa and stir to mix.
Stir seasonings into ground lamb until just well combined, then let the meat sit in a cool place for about 2 hours.
Package and freeze loose, or stuff into casings (will need approx. 40 ft) before freezing.
