Lamb Kofta on Pitas

Lamb Kofta on Pitas

Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

Kofta Ingredients

  • 500g lamb mince
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped (plus extra to serve)
  • 1 large clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp salt
  • A dash of black pepper

To Serve

  • 4 small pita breads
  • tzatziki (store bought is just fine)
  • 1 small pkt mixed lettuce leaves
  • ½ red onion, sliced thinly
  • extra chopped mint
  • lemon wedges

Method


Place all lamb kofta ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. 
Shape and press the mixture onto 8 skewers. We used metal skewers and lightly oiled them before use.

Add a little oil to your Equip pan and cook for approx. 8-10 minutes, turning as you go, ensuring all sides are nicely browned and the lamb is cooked to your liking. Remove from pan and set aside to rest for a few minutes.

While your Koftas are resting, heat your pitas in a pan on low heat for a minute or two on each side. Place in foil to keep warm while the others are heating.

To serve, place a little lettuce and red onion on each pita, top with 2 koftas each, a good drizzle of tzatziki, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of extra fresh mint.

(Make sure you remove your skewers before eating.)

 

 

Enjoy!
