Ingredients

  • Lamb Koftas
  • 400g lean lamb mince
  • 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 8 wooden kebeb skewers, soaked in cold water

  • Couscous Salad
  • 1 cup instant couscous

  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped

  • 1/2 cup Eta Greek-style Yoghurt Dressing

Method

1. To make Lamb Koftas, mix together lamb mince, parsley, garlic, cumin and coriander. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Divide mixture into 8 balls. Form each ball around the pointed end of a skewer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Barbecue koftas over medium heat until browned all over and just cooked through – about 6 minutes.

4. To make Couscous Salad, place couscous in a bowl. Pour in boiling water or vegetable stock. Leave to stand for 5 minutes. Fluff grains with a fork and leave to cool.

2. Mix through almonds, apricots and chopped parsley. Season to taste.

Serve Koftas on couscous salad and pour over Eta Greek-style Yoghurt Dressing. Serve with a green salad.

Tip:

Note: Koftas make great nibbles with drinks. Make them smaller and serve with Eta Greek-style Yoghurt Dressing as a dip.
