Clean Eating Mini Lamb Koftas

Mmmmmm! These are soooooo goooood!

When we were living with my parents last summer my mum and I became professionals at meal planning. Each week we asked everyone if/when they would be home for dinner, we made sure that we planned meals that everyone would enjoy (we loved it when the ‘Dads’ were out and we could eat something quick like soup with the kids!) and we were also pretty clever with where we shopped so that we could keep to a budget. It worked so well, we were able to keep everyone happy as well as keep things nice and simple for us so that we didn’t have to spend hours in the kitchen.

Every now and then mum would make the Dads something extra special for dinner. They love Jamie Olivers Lamb Koftas from his 5 Ingredients Cookbook and so she made them whenever we had the time to make something else for the rest of us (The Koftas were a bit spicy for us!). The Dads absolutely loved Kofta days and they did make the house smell amazing!

Since we have been in our new house, there have been no Kofta days so I thought it would be fun to make my own so that the whole family could enjoy them! These are so delicious, really simple and easy to make and are such a crowd pleaser. We served our koftas in mini wholemeal pitta breads with some cottage cheese (natural yoghurt or houmous would also work), red onion and coriander but you could serve them however you like.
