What better than to try barbecue lamb kofte kebabs? I thought when my wife came home from the butcher with minced lamb.
Cooking anything with minced meat on the barbecue however presents its challenges, namely how to stop your patties breaking up and falling through the grill rack and into the coals. Well, I've discovered the
TeflonŽ barbecue mat
to be the perfect solution. Just brush with oil.
After cooking, wipe down with a damp cloth and put it in the dishwasher - magic! I keep one for these types of recipe and I have another one that is dedicated to vegetarian recipes so that when I have vegetarian guests they can enjoy the barbecue safe in the knowledge that their food has not been cooked on the same grill as meat.
Ingredients:-
350g or žlb minced lamb 2 slices bread 1 large egg 1 small onion grated 1 tablespoon oil 1 tablespoon chopped parsley salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method:-
Soak the bread in water, squeeze and leave to dry. Mix the lamb with all the other ingredients (except for the oil) in a mixing bowl, get your hands in and give it a good mulch around.
Form the mixture into small patties. Brush your
TeflonŽ barbecue mat
with the oil and place the patties over medium coals for about 15 - 20 minutes
Serve with warm pitta breads, salad and a big dollop of organic natural yoghurt - Fantastic!
