Ingredients

For the koftas:
• Field & Flower lamb mince (300g)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 onion finely diced or minced
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled & crushed
• 1 lemon

For the salad:
• 2 carrots, skin peeled off
• 1 pomegranate, seeds removed
• ½ a cucumber, centre removed
• Sea salt to season
• Lemon juice
• Flatbreads/ pittas to serve
• 1 pot of tzatziki

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking dish with foil or grease proof paper.

2. Mix together all of the kofta ingredients in a large bowl using your hands.

3. Take golf ball sized amounts of the mixture and mould into oval like shapes.

4. Place in a lined dish and cook for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

5. While the kofta are cooking you can prepare the salad. Peel the carrot and cucumber length-ways to create long ribbons.

6. Toss the ribbons in lemon juice and a little salt to taste.

7. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve. We suggest loading up a flatbread with salad, delicious tzatziki and topping with the kofta. Enjoy!
