Kebabs are a dish that the whole family loves and are reminiscent of backyard barbecues or holidays in the sun. This lamb kofta with tangy salad recipe combines the distinct flavor of lamb with a special blend of herbs and spices to elevate your taste buds. Serving it with a refreshing salad cuts through the intensity of the grilled meat and will leave you coming back for more.

If you’re a lover of lamb, then you’re probably already familiar with its delicately sweet flavor and tender texture. While lamb shines perfectly well on its own, combining it with garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, and other spices brings a rich and addictive Middle Eastern flavor profile that the whole family will love.

And even though it may be tempting to pop back one or two (or more, we don’t blame you) koftas all by themselves, you’re missing out on a well-rounded mouthful if you don’t make the delicious tangy salad! Red wine vinegar and olive oil is a match made in culinary heaven! And when paired with gently crumbled feta and spring mix salad, you’ll also get a big dose of Mediterranean flavors—an impeccable addition to your kofta.

Feel free to add cherry tomatoes, olives, or cucumbers into your salad if you want, and don’t forget to garnish the koftas with some extra parsley to make the dish look as delicious as it tastes.

Yields 4 servings of Keto Lamb Kofta with Side Salad

The Preparation

Lamb Kofta:

• 1/4 cup onion, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 teaspoon cumin
• 2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 pound ground lamb

Side Salad:

• 6 ounce spring mix salad
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all ingredients. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes.

2. In a bowl, combine onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, and coriander.

3. Stir together the ingredients until everything is well combined.

4. Add in the lamb, then season with salt and pepper. Lightly mix with your hands until everything is combined. Try your best not to over-mix.

5. Divide the meat into portions. Form the meat around the skewer, about 1 inch thick, in sections about 1 inch apart. You should get 2-3 sections of meat per skewer.

6. Preheat your grill (or grill pan, if using a stove) to medium-high heat. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes depending on the doneness you want. Once done, remove from grill and wrap with foil.

7. While the meat is resting, create the salad. Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. You can add these to a mason jar and shake hard to combine if preferred. Dress the salad with dressing, then sprinkle feta cheese over the top.

8. Serve together and enjoy!
