These juicy lamb köfte are smoky at the edges, tender inside and full of Turkish-inspired flavour. Ya Salam! Turkish All-Purpose Seasoning does the hard work, while cooling garlic yoghurt and a crisp chopped salad complete the plate.

🥣 Ingredients

• 500g lamb mince
• 2 tbsp Ya Salam! Turkish All-Purpose Seasoning
• 1 small onion, grated and squeezed dry
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 200g Greek yoghurt
• 1 small garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Flatbreads and chopped salad, to serve

🍳 How to Make It

1. Mix the lamb, seasoning, onion, parsley and salt until just combined.
2. With damp hands, shape into 10–12 short köfte. Chill for 20 minutes if time allows.
3. Mix the yoghurt with the garlic and lemon juice, then season lightly.
4. Brush the köfte with oil and cook on a hot griddle, barbecue or under a medium-high grill for 10–12 minutes, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through.
5. Serve with the garlic yoghurt, warm flatbreads and tomato and cucumber salad.
