Easy Lamb Koftas
with Fresh Couscous Salad
The secret to this dish is the lamb mince. A masterclass in authentic Lebanese flavours, the neighbours will be peering over the fence as your aromatic koftas start to sizzle. If you’re using wooden skewers, don’t forget to soak them in water to avoid splinters!

To prepare the ingredients, zest and juice the lime. Finely chop the coriander and finely dice the tomato and cucumber.
Roll the lamb kofta mince into 8 cm long sausages and place on a plate. If you’re using skewers, insert the sausages onto the skewers (you should get four koftas per person).
Place the couscous and boiling water in a medium bowl and cover tightly with cling wrap. Leave to sit for 5 minutes. Remove the wrap, add the lime zest and half of the olive oil and fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the coriander, tomato and cucumber.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the koftas, turning occasionally for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
Combine the lime juice and yoghurt in a small bowl.
To serve, divide the couscous and koftas between plates and serve with the lime yoghurt.
