• Peel and crush the garlic (2 cloves), finely grate the zest of one lemon and grate (or finely chop) half a red onion.
• Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl (500g lamb mince, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp ground coriander, 2 tbsp fresh mint, ¼ tsp salt, lemon zest, garlic and red onion). Use your hands to mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed in the lamb mince.
• Form into 36 balls about 1" in diameter and then thread the balls into the skewers (6 per skewer).
• These zesty lamb koftas can be barbecued, fried, grilled or cooked in the oven. Check they're cooked through before serving.

To Barbecue

• Cook on a hot barbecue for about 3 minutes on each side.

To Fry

• Cook in a large frying pan (over a medium heat) for about 3 minutes on each side.

To Grill

• Cook under a hot grill for 3-4 minutes on each side.

To Oven Cook

• Cook in an oven pre-heated to 200ºC/180ºC fan for 6-8 minutes.
• Serve - These koftas can be enjoyed straight from the skewer or served in a flat bread or pitta with some salad (I added lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and a drizzle of natural yogurt to mine).
