About Greek lamb kofta

Greek Lamb Kofta is a flavorful dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, typically made with minced lamb, onions, garlic, parsley, and a blend of warm spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika. These ingredients are shaped into elongated patties or skewered and grilled to perfection, offering a smoky, rich taste. Lamb serves as a nutrient-dense protein source, providing essential vitamins such as B12 and minerals like zinc and iron. The parsley and spices add antioxidants and digestive benefits. While delicious, kofta can be high in saturated fat due to lamb's richness, so moderation is key. Pairing it with a fresh Greek salad or opting for a yogurt-based tzatziki sauce enhances the dish’s healthiness by adding calcium, probiotics, and fresh vegetables. Greek Lamb Kofta celebrates bold flavors and nutritional balance, making it a standout choice for Mediterranean-inspired meals.
