Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Lamb
  • 0.5 Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 0.5 cup Fresh Parsley
  • 1 tbsp Spices (cumin, coriander, paprika)
  • 1 head Cauliflower
  • 2 Tomato
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 0.25 cup Mint
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb ground lamb, 0.5 onion (finely grated), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 0.5 cup fresh parsley (chopped), and 1 tbsp spices (cumin, coriander, paprika). Mix everything together with your hands until just combined, then shape the mixture into 8 small oblong kofta.
  2. 2Place the 1 head cauliflower into a food processor and pulse until the pieces are about the size of rice grains. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a medium bowl.
  3. 3Dice the 2 tomatoes into small pieces and dice the 1 cucumber into small pieces. Finely chop the 0.25 cup mint.
  4. 4Add the diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped mint to the bowl with the cauliflower rice. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil and 3 tbsp lemon juice, then toss gently to combine.
  5. 5Heat a grill or a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kofta for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. 6Let the kofta rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the cooked kofta alongside the prepared cauliflower tabbouleh.
