Ingredients
- 500 g Ground lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 30 g, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp, optional Red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Step 2
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Mix well using your hands until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into small oblong patties or cylindrical shapes, approximately 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width. You should be able to make about 12-15 koftas with this mixture.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the koftas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Cook the koftas for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the koftas from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 7
Serve the gluten-free lamb koftas warm with a side of gluten-free flatbreads, salad, or a yogurt dipping sauce.
