Lamb koftas with minted yoghurt

These little discs of sweetly spiced lamb make for the easiest of delicious dinners, pan-fried and drizzled with our garlicky minted yoghurt and wrapped in warm pita bread. Throw in some cucumber and tomato and there’s dinner on the run for kids; or serve with a pilaf and roast vegetable salads for a mini Middle Eastern feast. Leftovers? Hello, lunchboxes!   

To Serve

In our houses, the classic, quick kofta treatment is to wrap in warm pita bread with a well-seasoned chopped salad of cucumber, tomato, spring onion and parsley or coriander, dressed with lemon juice. The koftas, with the minted yogurt in a separate bowl for dunking, make a good, substantial hand-around snack too, or surround with other dips, olives and pita for a quick meze platter. Oh, and they can also be piled on a platter with an array of other Middle Eastern-leaning dishes, salads and sides like cous cous or a rice pilaf, as part of a larger feast. So many uses for these handy little koftas.

* We don’t add preservatives or additives to our meals – we cook with the same real ingredients you would find in your home fridge and pantry. Some of these household ingredients do contain sub-ingredients, for example Dijon mustard contains sulphites and crushed tomatoes contain citric acid. We try to find products with as few additives as possible and always list every ingredient in our meals, both here and on the label.

Some Prep

FRY PAN: fry koftas in a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes each side (from defrosted) to 4-5 minutes each side (from frozen) and until golden brown. OVEN: place koftas on a baking paper-lined tray and bake in a preheated 180C oven (FF) for 15-20 minutes (from defrosted) to 25-30 minutes (from frozen), or until golden brown and cooked through. TIP: if cooking the koftas from frozen, defrost the minted yoghurt by placing the sachet in a cup of warm water.
