How To Make Your Own Spiced Lamb Koftas - Perfect For The BBQ
Barbecue lamb koftas are the perfect dish to welcome in summer - made with seasonal spring lamb that's perfectly cooked over the flames, for juicy and flavoursome charred kofta kebabs.
A MIDDLE EASTERN FEAST, THAT'S DECEIVINGLY SIMPLE
Koftas are a traditional Middle Eastern dish usually made with ground beef or lamb.
The minced meat is seasoned with a special blend of spices before being formed into a sausage shape onto a skewer, much like a kebab.
They might sound fancy and exotic, but koftas could not be easier or simpler to make.
Instead of overcomplicating things, this recipe uses just mince, garlic, spices and herbs - allowing the meat to be the star of the show.
