Spicy Lamb Koftas
These Turkish Skewer Lamb Mince Kebabs can be thrown together in a matter of minutes. They are great for the BBQ, party or even a family dinner.
They are also great for a packed lunch as they can be taken off the skewers and served with a nice dip or even ketchup if that is what you prefer.
Traditionally they are served with mint yogurt though I love them with garlic mayonnaise and chili sauce.
They are delicious served in a Flour Tortilla with a little salad, pickled chilis and a drizzle of mint yogurt. A nice tomato salsa will also go really well with them.
These are better if made the night then easily cooked when you get home the next day.
They are good to freeze and can be cooked under the grill from frozen if needed. If freezing free them raw. Place on a baking tray and place in the freezer uncovered till just frozen then cover individually with cling film or place in a container.
These can be made Gluten and Lactose Free, check to ensure the spices are gluten free and serve in a large crispy iceberg lettuce leaf rather than the flour tortilla.
Why not try my Beef Koftas as well for a cheaper alternative.
