Lamb kofta

October 12, 2013 by Shari 2 Comments

So many people are doing koftas this spring. And why wouldn’t they, when they are a perfect BBQ food filled with awesome flavours that most of us have in our cupboards these days – think cumin, coriander, paprika and garlic.

Some people skewer their koftas, but I don’t think it’s really needed. When you think about it, most people don’t eat them off the skewers – they pull the meat off and then eat it with a knife and fork (or fill a pita with it and use their hands).

Koftas are the perfect food for sharing with friends – cook them up, pop them on the table and allow people to pick and choose how they would like to garnish their koftas.

LAMB KOFTA
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 brown onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 bunch of fresh mint
1/2 bunch of fresh parsley
500 grams of lamb mince

Mix together the cumin, coriander, paprika, pepper, chilli, salt, onion, garlic, mint, parsley and lamb in a bowl. Divide the mixture into twelve portions and form the mixture into thin ovals.

Heat oil in a large frying pan (or oil your BBQ) and brown the koftas (approximately 5 minutes each side).

Serve the koftas with some hummus, tzatziki, fresh tomato slices, grilled eggplant and toasted pita breads.

*using up the remaining mint and parsley in your tzatziki is a great way not to waste anything! Simply add the fresh herbs to some Greek yoghurt, grated cucumber, crushed garlic, lemon juice and olive oil – YUM!

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
