FORMULA FOOD - ROUND 5

TURKEY = KEBABS

We had to have these on Saturday night, as we were selfishly invited out for Sunday lunch -who does Sunday lunch on a race weekend?!;-)
They were very quick & easy, if not a bit fatty but that's lamb for you.
Conclusion: Really tasty & easy to make.
Would I make them again? Yes, I might make them half the size though - a definite meaty mouthful!

Turkish Kofta Kebabs:
900g minced lamb, 2 grated onions, 6 crushed cloves of garlic, 2 tsp chilli flakes, 1 handful of chopped parsley, oil for brushing.

1.Soak 8 bamboo skewers in cold water.

2.Put everything (apart from the oil) in a large bowl with plenty of salt & pepper & mix together with your hands until bound together.

3. Divide the mixture into 8 & mould it into long sausage shapes around the skewers.

4. Brush with oil & cook on a griddle for a couple of mins each side, until browned & cooked through.

5. I served them with cucumber, yogurt & mint - which is self explanatory (chop & mix together!)
