Air Fryer Lamb Kofka

This is a good quick meal to rustle up in an air-fryer for a mid-week meal.

Ingredients

  • 500g of 10% fat lamb mince
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed in a garlic crusher
  • 2 big stalks of fresh mint, leaves removed and finely chopped (or 2 tsp dried mint)

Method

  1. Take the lamb mince from the fridge and mix with all the other ingredients as soon as possible.
  2. Use your hands to kneed the lamb mixture until it's well mixed. You want to get a consistency that's almost smooth and definitely doesn't have the texture of the freshly minced meat, but you don't want to overwork it so once it starts to look a bit mushy and smooth.
  3. Return the lamb mixture to the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill further.
  4. Divide into 8ths (or 4ths if you have really long kebab skewers that can fit in your air fryer) and place each 8th onto a skewer with about 1 cm of meat spaced out from the kebab skewer in all directions.
  5. Cook for 15 to 17 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius in the air fryer, until a meat thermometer reads at least 74 degrees in the center.
  6. Enjoy with pitta, tzatziki (or hommous) and finely sliced lettuce.
Serves 4.
