TURKISH BAZAAR LAMB KOFTAS 🥙🔥
Juicy lamb koftas cooked over hot coals and tucked into warm flatbreads with fresh salad and a lemony garlic yoghurt sauce.
For the lamb koftas:
• 500g lamb mince
• 3 tbsp Spice Excellence Turkish Bazaar dry spice
• 1 small onion, finely grated or blitzed in a food processor, about ¼ cup
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup ground pistachio nuts, optional
For the lemon garlic yoghurt sauce:
• ½ cup plain yoghurt
• 1 garlic clove, finely grated
• 1½ tbsp lemon juice
• ¼ to ½ tsp salt, or to taste
To serve:
• Lebanese flatbreads or pita breads
• Rocket or baby leaf lettuce
• Tomatoes, sliced
• Red onion, finely sliced
• Fresh coriander
Method:
1. If using wooden kebab skewers, soak them in hot water for at least 1 hour. You can also leave them soaking overnight.
2. Add the lamb mince, Turkish Bazaar spice, onion, garlic, olive oil and pistachios to a bowl. Mix really well until everything is evenly combined and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
3. Take roughly ⅓ cup of the lamb mixture per skewer. Shape it firmly around the skewer into a long kofta, pressing gently so it holds together.
4. Braai over hot coals for approximately 5 minutes per side, turning carefully, until browned and cooked through.
5. For the sauce, stir together the yoghurt, grated garlic, lemon juice and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
6. Warm the flatbreads briefly, then layer with rocket or lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and fresh coriander. Add the hot lamb koftas and generously drizzle over the lemon garlic yoghurt sauce.
Best eaten straight off the braai while everything is still warm 🔥🥙
