Lamb Kofta and Mint Yoghurt Dressing

11 September 2015 by Alan Brewer Leave a Comment

Lamb-Koftas

Don’t you just love the chance of making food for the family in less than 30 minutes? These opportunities are not always available with a family unless freezer food is the only option. Now a good old freezer surprise isn’t always too bad.

But…we are not here to talk about freezer food…. we are here to talk about these lamb kofta that have a spice to them that really brings out the lovely mellow flavours of the lamb. The thyme and little sugar add a bit of sweetness that can bring down the heat of the chilli if you have chosen a hot one, but I like the heat the chilli and cumin brings.

So try this yourselves when you have only a short window to cook dinner. You can even use beef mince if lamb is not available.

Serving is simple and adds only a little time to the dinner. Commonly served with a warmed pitta and salad try serving with either minted slaw or even red cabbage slaw to add a slightly healthier twist.

Ingredients
  

Lamb Kofta

  • 500 g Lamb mince
  • 1 red chilli
  • 1 white onion peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp. fresh mint
  • 1 tsp. Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. Light brown sugar
  • Olive oil for frying

Mint Yoghurt Dressing

  • 100 g 0% Fat natural yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp. fresh mint finely chopped
  • ½ lemon juiced

Instructions
 

  • Put the red chilli, onion, garlic and mint into a food processor and pulse into fine dice. In a large bowl add the lamb mince, cumin, thyme sugar and fine-diced ingredients. Mix together with your hands, season with salt and pepper and shape in to 8 even sausage style shapes. Place on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Take out the koftas and brush with a little olive oil. Place the koftas in to the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes turning frequently but allow a nice golden brown colour to form before turning.
  • While the koftas are cooking mix the yoghurt, mint and lemon juice in a bowl and place to the side.
  • Once cooked serve to your liking. Popular suggestions are with a pitta and slaw. See below notes on some slaw ideas that go great with these koftas.

This was delicious, simple and so good to just leave while you work away doing what you do. This dinner allowed me to do a few jobs around the house as I spend some time off during the kids half term.
