Lamb Kofta Kebab Recipe

Step 1

Add the lamb, panko breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, mint, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Mix to combine.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into eight and mould each portion on wooden or metal skewers to form eight koftas. If using wooden skewers, soak them first so they don't burn.

Step 3

Brush the koftas with the oil and heat a griddle pan (grill pan) over a medium–high heat. Alternatively, preheat the grill (broiler) to high and place a wire rack in the grill tray. Cook the koftas for 6–7 minutes, turning a few times during cooking, until well browned and cooked through.

Step 4

While the koftas are cooking, make the whipped feta. Place the feta, cream cheese, garlic, oil, lemon juice and water into the bowl of a small food processor and blend together until smooth. If you would like a thinner consistency, add more oil or a splash of water. Transfer the whipped feta to a serving dish.

Step 5

When the lamb koftas are cooked, remove from the heat and allow to rest for 2–3 minutes.

Step 6

Serve the lamb koftas on warmed flatbreads, topped with the whipped feta, chilli flakes, red onion, tomatoes, parsley and lemon wedges.
