Lamb koftas with yoghurt

Lamb koftas with yoghurt

Ingredients

  • 400 g lamb mince
  • 1 onion, grated
  • a handful parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 4 tbsp plain yoghurt
  • 4 wholemeal pittas

Contains: Milk, Wheat

Method

  1. Mix the mince, onion, parsley and spices. Shape into flat ovals — your child's small and thin.
  2. Grill or fry 5 minutes a side until cooked through.
  3. Serve in pitta with yoghurt; cut your child's into strips. Salt the adults' koftas.
Safety: Flattened, never ball-shaped. Cooked right through, with no pink. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Flat, not round, and cut into strips — the shape does the safety work.
