Ingredients

• 500 g Lean ground lamb
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup, finely chopped Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup, finely chopped Fresh mint
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, and mint.

Step 2

Add ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into an oval or cylindrical kofta shape. Ensure they are compact to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with olive oil for greasing.

Step 5

Place the koftas on the grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice char on the outside.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove from the grill or pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve the lamb koftas with a fresh salad, whole wheat pita, and a side of low-fat yogurt for dipping.
