If there’s one food that makes me feel like I’m on holiday, it’s this really easy recipe for Lamb Koftas. Add a big dollop of tzatziki and a Greek salad and I’m right there, imagining I’m sitting by the Mediterranean in the sunshine. 😎 I think we all need a bit of that right now (and always)?! Serve this during the summer months on the barbecue, or any time of year under the grill or in a frying pan. The flavours are divine and it’s such an easy treat of a recipe.
Why you’ll love this recipe for lamb koftas
⭐️ Ideal for barbecue days ⭐️ Prepped in under 10 minutes ⭐️ The taste of a summer holiday Shop-bought kebabs for a barbecue just don’t have the same authenticity or satisfaction as homemade, so I got to work blending some simple ingredients to get that satisfying taste. This recipe involves some very simple dry spices mixed with lamb mince (cumin, coriander, cinnamon and garlic powder) and it’s really quick and easy to cook – less than half an hour and you’re good to go. I urge you to make the Tzatziki yoghurt dip for this too as it works perfectly with this dish!

✅ Grill – Heat up a hot grill on rainy days (or broiler if you’re in the USA) ✅ Frying pan or griddle pan – On the hob NB. Whichever way you choose to cook these, each method takes about the same amount of time to cook through – approximately 15 minutes – but make sure there’s no pink mince in the middle before serving.
