Keto Lamb Kofta Recipe - "Easy" Ground Meat Skewers - Delicious! (2024)

Our Keto lamb Kofta recipe ensures a very tasty and easy dish to make with no nasty high carb fillers that are found in many store-boughtor takeout dishes.

Many food outlets use fillers in their ground meat recipes (burgers, kebabs, koftas and the like) to keep costs low, claiming the need for binding.

Real Lamb Koftas as found in Middle Eastern and Greek cuisine use no such things and are generally Keto or very low-carb anyway.

How To Make Lamb Kofta

1. Put all the ingredients, except the rosemary and oil, into a mixing bowl and mix well.
2. Separate the meat into 6 portions and work into a long oval shape.
3. Push the skewer through the center of the meat so that the meat covers one end of the skewer.
4. Heat a non-stick frying pan or BBQ plate on high.
5. Put a dash of olive oil in the frying pan once hot and place the koftas in the pan.
6. Brush the koftas with olive oil using rosemary sprigs then leave the sprigs in the pan.
7. Turn the koftas after 2 minutes or when charred on one side.
8. Turn again after 2 minutes and reduce the heat to medium for 8 minutes. Keep an eye on the underside so as not to burn.
9. Turn again and cook for a further 8 minutes or until cooked through.
10. Remove and serve with a side of sour cream and cucumber dip.
