Instructions

1Carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade™ in the bowl. Add half the lamb and process until evenly ground. Transfer to a mixing bowl and repeat with the remaining lamb.
2Add the onion, garlic, spices, zest, pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to the processor bowl and process to form a paste, scraping down the side occasionally. Return the lamb to the processor with the spice paste and process until just combined.
3Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Form each portion into a sausage shape, approximately 4-inches long. Lightly brush with the oil.
4Heat a grill pan or barbecue on high heat. Cook the koftas, in batches, until browned all over and just cooked through.
5Serve kofta with pickled cabbage, tabbouleh, yogurt and flat bread, if desired.
