I had a pack of lamb that needed to be used and someone mentioned kafta/kofta in passing and my mind was set. I called these “koftaesque” as I can’t resist a bad pun but also I didn’t have some key traditional ingredients. #kofta #protein

Steps

30 minutes

1

Dice the onion and tomato and mix with the lamb in a large bowl
2

Add the ground coriander and cumin and mix well, then the diced tomatoes, chopped parsley and, you guessed it, mix well
3

Now grab about 1/4 of the lamb mix and shape it into a flat rectangle. Do the same with the rest of the lamb until you have 4 kebab-burgers. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper to taste
4

Put 2 tsp olive oil into a pan on a medium heat, then add the rectangles of lamb. You’ll want about 12 minutes total, turning half way when nicely browned
5

While that’s cooking, rinse the chickpeas and toss with the lemon juice, some fresh coriander and cumin
6

Make sure the lamb is well cooked, then plate it up with the chickpeas and serve.
