This hearty minted lamb kofte recipe is easily one of my top five simple autumn meals, and what makes it so great is that it looks more complicated than it actually is!
3stalksspring onions - white part only, finely chopped
2clovesgarlic - finely chopped
1handfulmint - finely chopped
2teaspoonssalt
1teaspooncumin seeds - ground
1teaspoonturmeric
1teaspoonground black pepper
Instructions
Crumble the lamb mince into a large mixing bowl and add the rest of the kofte ingredients. Mix using your hands until all of the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the mince into roughly 8 equal portions, roll each portion into a ball, and then squash slightly until you have 8 oblong-shaped kofte. Thread two onto each skewer and place them on a plate in the fridge until it’s time to cook them.
When it’s time to cook the kofte, place them under a preheated grill on a high heat for about 8 to 10 minutes on each side. Use a pastry brush dipped in a little olive oil to coat the kofte and give them a nice golden colour.
