grilled lamb kofta kebabs with pistachios and spicy salad wrap

We eat this nearly every week as it's healthy, tasty and - most important - FAST! It tastes like you've spent ages marinading and preparing something but it took 5-10 minutes. We love it. A great quick one for a dinner party too.

Hi made these kebabs last night, loverly but are yousure about the "tablespoons" of spices?<br /> tony

So gooooood!

Hi. Making this for the first time. Am leaving the prepared lamb mince over night in the fridge.<br /> <br /> I am concerned that the mixture looks a bit "dry". As I am making a larger batch I have tripled all ingredients except the chili.<br /> <br /> Any suggestions on whether I need to moisten it up or not? Looks like it may crumble tommorrrow as I form it up? Egg maybe? Or perhaps a bit of olive oild through the mix? And someone above suggested ice cubes! Your experieces and thoughts on dry mix welcome.

Made these 3 times now and love them, great on the BBQ or shaped as a burger and grilled then broken up if you want them quick, or frozen to cook later, lovely!

Lovely recipe especially the onions covered in lemon juice! I make these all the time now! I don't normally like raw onion but the lemon juice really takes the edge off! My boyfriend just like's to eat a bowl of them to snack on, there that good!

My husband and I love these so much I've been making them weekly and plan on making them for a dinner party of 21 this weekend! Re. the chili, use the fresh - or dried - chilis. Not the chili powder. Haven't been able to find sumac, so I've been using fresh lemon rind. AMAZING. My mouth is watering as I think about these. The Greek yogurt sure makes a difference too. Enjoy!

yum yum yummy....makes a plain mummy into a yummy mummy..thks jamie,keep them coming.x

Have made this a couple of times for the family. Only used a pinch of chilly flakes not the amount suggested in this recipe. Am going to make this for our Dutch friends tomorrow as long as I can by all the ingredients in Hilversum

Have cooked this over and over again, we all love it.

2nd time making these. A new family favorite. So quick and easy.

Just cooked it to impress my parents. flavors were great. I agree with the addition of chopped onion and garlic to the mix. Lovely fragrent flavors and the mix of rocket, mint, parsley and lime juice ready dressed the salad nicely.

it´s a very good kofta kebab ,but realy needs a chopped onion added into. it will be delicious.proove it!
THANKS.

Made this tonight for supper ...truly delicious !!! May add just a little garlic to the mix next time but we all loved the flavour! A good healthy meal for all the family .Yet again another great recipe ...way to go Jamie !!!

sorry jamie,
but the middle east is a big place with many different versions of kebabs.
I live in Australia but from lebanese/Syrian decent, and was a chef for a number of years.I have tasted many different kebabs from turkish to morrocan. but i must say the lebanese way is the moust tastiest.

Try putting a few ice cubes in the mix (up to the same weight) and leaving it overnight. The water will be absorbed and give you a sloppy mixture. Don't squeeze hard when forming the kebabs. Put them on a hot barbecue/grill... there will be a lot of steam... which will give you light fluffy kebabs.

So easy to make and so very tasty! Doubled the recipe using lamb and ground turkey (dark) to reduce the per serving cost. No change to the taste. More lamb recipes please!

WOW! This is amazing. Easy to do, and finger licking involved.
Husband declaired : Delicious!
Thanks

this stuff is lush had it all the time in morocco

its really great and its very tasty as well i used fine choped onion with choped corriender and mint with a hint of black salt mixed in yogurt is lovely and it also taste good with mild green chillies choped its very nice chef thank you

hey
i've already written it - and i cooked it at the 21st july at my birthday - yummy!!!
absolutly easy to do, nice, mouth-watering, perfect!
:)

I made this once before after seeing Jamie prepare it on his show,and we loved it. I'm making it again tonight and in reading the comments I noticed someone commented on the amount of ground chili. I took that to mean the chili powder we use in the States to make our dish called "Chili" It is a blend of different sweet and hot peppers and other spices. Anyway that's what I used, not ground dried hot chili, and it was delicious. It was very close to the one I had at a kebab shop in Baltimore, MD. This time I will add a little onion to the processor as has been suggested.

excelent!

Tonight my first try... wish me luck :-) x eva from amsterdam

really yummy have it alot!!!

are you all mad? this was inedible! a level tablespoon of ground chilli, that's more than i'd put in an entire curry. very disappointing, usually jamie's recipes are spot on but this was a disaster. we ended up chucking it away.

Thanks for the recipe.

We saw this on TV and tried to make a version of it. (It's here for those interested: http://eatingclubvancouver.blogspot.com/2008/04/grilled-lamb-kofta.html)

i looks so delicious - i'll cook it at my 14 th brithday =)

beautiful!!!
i live with people that wen it comes 2 new tastes run for the hills, but it was a huge sucess YUM YUM

a lovely kofte kebab recipe but it really needs a chopped onion added into the food processor too

Really delicious and easy to make, i didn't find it expensive at all, it depends on what you have in your store cupboard as to what you have to buy, a cheap cut of organic lamb and some wraps hardly came to anything but then thats the same with anything you make from a recipe, if you dont already have the ingredients then it can be pricey but this was delicious and easy to make and a hell of a lot better for you than some nasty take away that you don't know whats in it! The tzatziki is a good idea too!

the best kofta i ever made at home and tryed to be onest, bat i did cheat a litle, i aded some onion to the food procesor and just a drop of vinegar.... perfect

shame it cost the same to make as it costs to buy an xxl donner at my local kebab shop and there wa no chili sorse.
