Moroccan Lamb Koftas

Life through food coloured glasses

This recipe is a secret weapon. Kids love them. Adults swoon over them and I love making them because they are SO EASY AND TASTE AWESOME. Think yummy earthy moroccan flavours combined with the sweetness of the honey and currents. They are so healthy and I love that the vegetables are hidden in deliciousness.

 

I love serving it with a green salad, maybe some roasted pumpkin, toasted flaked almonds and toss some corriander through for that extra level of flavour. Serve them at a BBQ, as an entree, a midweek meal or even cold for lunch. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Ingredients:

500g lamb mince

2 carrots

1 zucchini

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 teaspoons of salt

1 tablespoon of honey

1 teaspoon of chilli flakes

1/2 cup currants

3 tablespoons of my morrocan spice mix

200ml of Natural yoghurt 

3 teaspoons of harrissa or chilli paste.

 

My Moroccan Spice Mix

1 packet of ground cumin

1 packet of ground ginger

1 packet of ground coriander

1 packet of ground cinnamon

1 packet of praprika

4 teaspoons of salt flakes

 

 

 

Directions:

1. Make your Moroccan spice mix by pouring all the ingredients into a large jar and shake well. This is your spice mix you don't need it all for this recipe so just use three tablespoons as directed below. The spice mix keeps for months so store it in your cupboard and use it as you need it.
    

2. Grate zucchini and carrots and put in a large bowl with the mince, garlic, salt, honey, chili, currants and spice mix.
    

3. Use your hands and squish the mixture together until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
    

4. Roll into kofta shapes ans set aside
    

5. Heat a large frypan on medium high heat with a splosh of oil. Cook the koftas in two batches for 8 minutes turning frequently, until brown all over and cooked in the middle.
    

6. I like to serve mine with a big salad and the yoghurt with harissa stirred through.
