Prep Time: 15 mins (plus at least Β½ hour rest time)
Cook Time: 20 mins
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 500g lamb mince
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley leaves, chopped
- Β½ teaspoon bi-carb soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Yoghurt Sauce
- 4 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
- 1 handful mint leaves, chopped
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, grated
- Β½ teaspoon ground cumin
- salt to taste
Method
- Combine lamb, garlic, onion, mint, parsley, bi-carb soda, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt and egg in a bowl and mix together with your hands. Allow to rest in the fridge for half an hour or as long as you can, while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Combine yoghurt, mint, cucumber, ground cumin in a bowl and season to taste and set aside.
- Moisten your hands with water and divide the lamb mixture into 12, rolling each one into a fat sausage shape.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the Koftas for 10 minutes (2Β½ mins each side). You may need to cook in 2 batches depending on the size of your pan.
- Serve with mint yoghurt. Also delicious served with tabouli or garlic spinach and roasted tomatoes.
Tip: Make a double batch and freeze half the raw lamb mixture for another day.
Tip: 500g is enough for the correct dietary proportions but I always feel I need more because they are so yummy. Cook double quantity and take them for lunch in a gluten free wrap.
Tip: If you prefer, you can bake them in the oven at 180Β°C for 15-20 minutes (or until the meat is cooked through).
