Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kofta

    In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kofta

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a long oval or sausage shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kofta

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the kofta and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and browned.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    While the kofta is cooking, rinse the rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine rice and water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mixed Green Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

    Plate the kofta with a serving of rice and the mixed green salad. Optionally, serve with fries.
