How to Make Lamb Koftas

ground lamb

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often less expensive.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt provides similar creaminess with fewer calories.

pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pita

💰Cheaper: tortillas

Whole wheat pita adds fiber, while tortillas are often cheaper.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

In a mixing bowl, add 500 grams of lamb mince.

Add 1/2 finely chopped brown onion, 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of finely chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, a good amount of salt, and ground black pepper.

Add garlic goals rub to the mixture for extra flavor.

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.

Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each portion onto a skewer.

If using wooden skewers, soak them for about 20 minutes to prevent burning.

Transfer the shaped koftas onto a cake rack and refrigerate for a couple of hours to firm up.

Prepare the grill by spreading charcoal evenly on one side and placing the cooking grates on top.

Heat the grate for a couple of minutes before placing the koftas on it.

Cook the koftas for 2-3 minutes on all four sides or until completely cooked through, which takes about 8-10 minutes.

Once cooked, move the koftas to the side and heat some flatbread.

To serve, grab a kofta, remove the skewer, and add lettuce, sliced tomato, and garlic sauce before rolling it up.
