This speedy kofta recipe is packed with flavour and would make a great alternative to homemade burgers. Try it with lamb instead of goat meat if you prefer.
Ingredients
For the koftas
For the dressing
- ½ cucumber, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- 300g/10½oz yoghurt
- 2 limes, juice only
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
To serve
- 4 white pitta breads, warmed
- 400g/14oz feta cheese or halloumi, broken into pieces
Method
Heat a small frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot add the onion and cook until soft. Place all the kofta ingredients, apart from the oil, into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Shape into sausage shapes.
Heat a heavy flat griddle pan. Oil the koftas with the remaining oil and cook on the griddle for 6-7 minutes turning around constantly so they cook evenly.
Mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
To serve, stuff the pitta bread with the cooked koftas, dressing and cheese and enjoy warm.
