Lamb Kofte
This is keto-friendly richly spiced lamb dish (you can use beef as well) that is so flavorful you’ll want to make it again and again! Serve it with tzatziki and a salad.
Servings: 6
Calories: 528kcal
Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup pine nuts toasted
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 lbs ground lamb
- 1 small onion
- 1 jalapeño seeds removed (leave them in if you want the dish to be more spicy)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh mint
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
Instructions
- Combine the garlic, spices, and pine nuts in a food processor and process until a fine paste forms. Remove the spice paste to a large bowl.
- Place the onion and jalapeño into the food processor and pulse until very finely cut. Transfer to a fine mesh strainer and press out as much liquid as possible. Remove the onion to the same bowl as the spice paste.
- Process the parsley, cilantro, and mint until finely chopped but not a paste, also adding these to the bowl containing the spice paste.
- Add the lamb and gelatin to the bowl and mix everything well. Form into 2 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick patties. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to marinate for at least an hour and up to two days.
- Cook over medium high heat on the grill (you can also sear these in a hot cast iron pan or bake them in the oven at 400F for 15-20 min or broil for about 4 min per siduntil browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.
- Serve with tzatziki and a salad.
Notes
You can form the patties and then freeze the whole tray, moving them into a freezer safe ziplock bag once frozen. Simply defrost overnight in the refrigerator before cooking them up. They can be stored for several months frozen and make a quick and easy go to meal.
