Lamb Kofta
This Lamb Kofta recipe packs a ton of flavor. The ground lamb is seasoned with a mixture of dried spices and fresh herbs, then grilled to perfection. Serve these Lamb Koftas with basmati rice, or get yourself a spread going and add tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, hummus and tzatziki. This Lamb Kofta recipe is so good! I love making this dish because it packs a TON of flavor. I always double the recipe because the leftover lamb kofta is my favorite to eat the next day cold over a simple salad, but it also reheats really well!
We love pairing our lamb kofta over a bed of fragrant basmati rice and serving it with shredded lettuce with tomatoes and cucumbers for a it of crunch and freshness. A side of tzatziki (cucumber yogurt sauce) and hummus, if you have it, are also really nice additions to this meal!
