Method

  1. Add the lamb mince, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, harissa, herbs, salt and pepper to a bowl.
  2. Mix well by hand until the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
  3. Shape the lamb around skewers into long kofta shapes.
  4. Chill for 30 minutes to help the kebabs firm up.
  5. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  6. Cook on a hot BBQ, grill or griddle for 10 to 12 minutes, turning regularly.
  7. Rest for 3 minutes before serving.
  8. Load into flatbreads with salad, yoghurt and lemon.

Notes

Don’t overwork the lamb too much or the koftas can become dense. A short chill helps them hold together on the skewers.
