I had no intention of putting these mini lamb koftas on the blog when I made them for Little Big H’s lunch today, but they were so yummy and he loved them so much that I though – I have to!
I made them using lamb loin (because that’s all I had), so I was thinking that they may turn out to be quite dry or tough, but they were tender and squishy and easy for Big H to chew. You could use lamb mince if you prefer. Serve with greek yoghurt and a little squeeze of lemon – delicious xx
Lamb Kofta
Ingredients
- 250 g lamb loin (or you could use lamb mince)
- 2 medium sized carrots
- Coriander - a couple of tablespoons of chopped coriander or to taste
- 1 onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste - or the fresh stuff if you have it
- 1 egg
- 2 slices of wholemeal bread
- A good splash of milk
- Oil for frying (coconut, grape seed oil are great)
Instructions
- Chop all ingredients roughly and place them in a food processor. Pulse the processor until all the ingredients are finely chopped
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Using a teaspoon and your hands form little balls from the mixture and add to the frying pan
- Cook on all sides until nice and golden and they are cooked through
If you don't have a food processor
- Grate the carrot and finely chop all other ingredients. You could also try adding meat to a blender to get a fine consistency (or alternatively use lamb mince). Combine and continue with the above steps.
Notes
You could use any veggies in this dish. Zucchini would be great. Also try adding spices like cumin or a mild paprika
