Lamb kofta, was on the menu today. A good buy on some fresh ground lamb motivated me to make some kofta. Truly what would kofta be without a little homemade hummus and yogurt? I wish you could taste it.
Koftas are usually made with lamb, beef, mutton or chicken. Fingers prepared as in the Arab style. Spices for kofta vary widely. Specifically I add ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, black pepper, fresh mint and fresh coriander. I serve with pita, and usually a side of hummus and tabouleh. Additionally adding chopped onion, carrots and cucumber. Further I typically prepare a cucumber raita from fresh yoghurt as an accompanying extra.
The tabouleh made of tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, mint, bulgur, and onion. Also seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
Finally if you never tried Lamb Kofta before, it is a tasty way to add a little variety to your life!
