If you like spicy flavours and want a bit of a twist on your chicken or beef wrap you will love these yummy koftas serves in fluffy greek gyros and paprika tzatziki
Feeds four or two if you are feeding a hungry boy and want a couple of sticky koftas left over for lunch.
What you will need...
For the sticky koftas
500g of lamb mince
1 small white onion
1 tablespoon dried chilli flakes
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
A handful of fresh coriander
salt and pepper to season
75g finely chopped pistachios
honey for drizzling
For the paprika tzatziki
1/2 a cucumber
1/2 a lemon
1/2 a cup of zero fat greek yoghurt
1 Teaspoon paprika
Handful of mint
Gyros, or pita breads to serve
To make the tzatziki, grate you cucumber and squeeze out all of the water with your hand or using a tea towel - this stops your tzatziki becoming too watery. Then simply in with half a cup of greek yoghurt, your lemon juice, chopped mint and paprika. Set to one side to serve later Too easy mate!
For your koftas, finely chop your onion and add to a bowl with all your spices, chopped coriander and half of your chopped pistachios (we keep the other half for later!)
Add in your lamb and thoroughly mix together with a spoon or your hands. Your mix should then make about eight koftas, shape into fat sausages and flatten the slide slightly, this will help you cook the koftas more easily in a pan.
Now the sticky bit, griddle your koftas until golden on all sides, then just before serving drizzle with a little honey and the remaining pistachios. Warm your gyros in the oven and you are ready to eat!
