Nadja loves whipping up a batch of koftas. Plus, Nadja and Steve have lots of home grown lamb.

Ingredients

  • 500g lamb mince
  • ⅓ cup dried currants
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbsp chopped sage
  • 1 tbsp chopped thyme
  • 1 tsp ground coriander seed
  • 2 cloves of crushed garlic
  • Handful of fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt & pepper to season
  • Zest of one small lemon

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, garlic, and spices.  Add eggs and mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Shape the mixture into small sausage-like shapes or balls.
  3. Thread the koftas onto skewers if desired. Nadja never bothers but can be a handy activity for the kids. 
  4. Grill or bake the koftas at 180°C for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.
