Yields4 ServingsPrep Time20 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time45 mins

Grilled kofta (or kefta) kebabs are skewers of ground beef and lamb mixed with fresh parsley, onions, garlic and warming spices. They are great for lunches, picnics or a Fakeaway dinnertime feast accompanied by homemade flatbreads (recipe on the website), salad, tzatziki or your own favourite dressing. I've paired it back a little as I didn't have all the spices available but you can add more if you prefer as its very versatile. You can tailor this recipe to suit you and your families tastes adding or substituting whatever meat,herbs or spices you like.

The preparation for this recipe can be done in the food processor blitzing the meat and spices together to form a finer mixture and save time and effort.

This mix can be made into burgers, meatballs or sausages if you done have skewers

16

This can be done in a conventional oven, on a grill plate, under the grill or on a bbq. Adjust the cooking times slightly if needed.
