Preparation time: 10m
Cooking time: 12m
Serves: 4
Difficulty:

Ingredients

  • 1 pack Silver Fern Farms Premium Ground Lamb
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp finely minced Italian parsley, (from a small handful of parsley)
  • 1 tsp olive oil, for baking sheet

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium skillet, set over medium heat, add the pine nuts. Toast for about 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Transfer to a food processor and allow to cool.

Step 2

To the same medium skillet, pour in a tsp or two of olive oil. Add the onion and smashed garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to the food processor, along with the salt, cumin, paprika and coriander. Pulse until everything is minced into small bits.

Step 3

Pour into a medium bowl. Add the Silver Fern Farms Premium Ground Lamb and finely minced Italian parsley. Mix together gently until everything is combined.

Step 4

Brush a half baking sheet with a tsp of olive oil. Using a medium cookie scoop, add mounds of the lamb kofta to the baking sheet, placing them about 2-inches apart.

Step 5

Transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes, until lightly golden brown on the tops and cooked throughout. Feel free to halve a lamb meatball in order to ensure doneness.

Step 6

Serve with rice, hummus, cucumber and tomato salad and pita.
