Simple Lamb Kafta

Kafta is essentially lamb mince seasoned with spices and fresh onion and parsley. It’s really easy to make from scratch, and super versatile to cook with.

This recipe makes approximately 24 skewers which will feed 6-8 people. However, if you are feeding 4, just halve the recipe, or you can make the whole amount and freeze half for another time. Simply defrost and cook as you would regular mince.

Serve it with my Lazy Salad, Yogurt Flatbread, and homemade Baba Ghanouj.

Step 1
Begin by finely chopping the parsley leaves, discarding the stems and very finely dicing the onion. Set aside.

Step 2
In a large mixing bowl place the lamb mince, onion, parsley, salt, 7 spice Bharat and paprika.

Step 3
Using your hands, kneading the ingredients into the meat, until everything is well combined.

Step 4
Fill a small bowl with cold water to wet your hands in. Take a small ball of meat, about 50g and press the skewer into the ball. Mould the meat along the skewer until it stretches 15cm and is about 2cm in diameter. Wet your hand as needed to stop the meat sticking to your hands. Place the skewers on a tray and if you need to add a row of cling wrap between each layer to stop them from sticking.

Step 5
Heat a cast iron pan or fire up the BBQ, add the olive oil and begin to cook the kafta in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Step 6
Transfer to a serving platter with lemon wedges and serve whilst still hot.
