  • 2x eggs
  • 1x red onion
  • 1x tablespoon of corn flour (or normal flour)
  • Bunch of washed parsley
  • Small handful of currants (or sultanas)
  • 2x lemons

  • 100g pitted manzanilla olives (or any type)
  • 1x/400g tin drained chickpeas
  • ½ bunch of washed mint
  • 2x Lebanese cucumbers

How to make

1.Start by adding 2 eggs to 1kg of lamb mince, then combine using your hands

3. Then add 1 tablespoon of corn flour, a small handful of chopped parsley, the zest of 2 lemons and a small handful of currants to the mince

4. Using your hands mix all the ingredients together

5. To make the koftas, take one tablespoon of lamb mince at a time and squeeze them into sausage-style shapes

6. Next drizzle a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over high heat, then place the koftas in one by one (be careful not to overcrowd the pan!)

7. Cook the koftas for approx. 1 minute before giving them a quarter-turn (continue this process until the koftas are cooked all the way around)

8. Once cooked, sprinkle the koftas with some flaky salt, then transfer to a plate and set aside to cool

9. For the salad, start by adding the remaining half of the chopped red onion to a large bowl, followed by 1 punnet of chopped grape tomatoes and 2 sliced Lebanese
cucumbers

10. Then add 200g of marinated feta, 100g of pitted manzanilla olives and 1 can of drain chickpeas

11. Next roughly chop 1/2 bunch of washed mint and a handful of washed parsley and add them to the salad

12. Give the salad a good mix with your hands before transferring it onto a large serving dish

13. Pop the cooled koftas into the salad then finish off with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and the juice of 1 lemon
