Istruzioni
- 1.In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, half of the chopped red onion, half of the minced garlic, all the parsley, half of the mint, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 2.Mix thoroughly with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape them into small ovals or logs (koftas).
- 3.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the koftas in the pan, ensuring not to crowd them, and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
- 4.While the koftas are cooking, prepare the relish. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out any excess water. In a small bowl, combine the grated cucumber, the remaining red onion, garlic, and mint. Stir in the lemon juice and season with a pinch of salt.
- 5.Remove the koftas from the pan and let them rest for a minute. Serve the warm lamb koftas immediately with the cool cucumber-mint relish on the side.
