Kafta Omelette Recipe

Omelettes

1. 1

   Prepare kafta mixture

   In a large bowl, combine ground lamb with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Add the beaten egg and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

2. 2

   Rest the mixture

   Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes to help flavors meld and binding improve.

3. 3

   Cook kafta filling

   Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add kafta mixture and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until deeply browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked kafta to a plate.

4. 4

   Prepare pan for omelette

   Wipe the skillet if needed, then heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.

5. 5

   Make the omelette

   Whisk the 4 eggs with a pinch of salt until well blended. Pour the eggs into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly. When the edges start to set, sprinkle the cooked kafta evenly over the eggs.

6. 6

   Finish and serve

   Cook until the eggs are just set and the edges are golden. Fold the omelette in half or roll, slide onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
