Minimal effort to make the koftas, super easy and mainly store cupboard ingredients.
Plain lamb burgers go just as well with the broccoli side, which we often use ourselves.
What you'll need
Enough for however many you're feeding, I cook for 2.
- Minced lamb
- Broccoli
- Feta cheese
For the kofta spice mix
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground corriander
- 1 tsp Paprika
- ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 Garlic clove, grated
- Fresh herbs (optional)
- 1 or 2 Spring onions (optional)
- Salt & pepper
For the dressing
- Olive oil
- Lemon juice
What to do
- Mix the spices, onion and fresh herbs with the lamb mince (I used 500g mince, to make 4 koftas/ patties).
- Split the mix into 4 or 6. Roll into balls and squish a little bit. Fry gently in a dry pan (there should be enough fat in the mince, if not add a dash of olive oil) until cooked though and nicely browned on the outside.
- While the koftas are cooking, cook the broccoli, strain and dress with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
- Once cooked and prepped, plate up and crumble Feta over the top. Add some fresh herbs too if you like?
