Lamb Kofta Kebabs (mini burgers)

 

1 onion, chopped or processed finely. The koftas are much improved if you fry the onion in a little oil before you carry on.
1 peeled and cored apple and 1 clove garlic, again chopped or grated or processed but not into a mush. 

500g minced lamb,
a good handful of breadcrumbs

I add a finely chopped courgette or grated carrot - not in the original recipe, but a good idea.

finely chopped parsley and /or mint - couple of tablespoons
1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt. add pepper or chilli flakes if you like

An egg is also not a bad idea for helping everything to stick together, but they will be OK without.

Mix all together and make into little flattened patties about half an inch thick

dip in flour and fry in oil for 3-4 mins each side

good hot or cold.

The original version of this recipe came from the magazine part of a Sunday paper
