Lamb kofta salad is a delightful fusion of Middle Eastern flavors combined with a fresh, healthy salad base. This dish combines succulent, savory lamb koftas with vibrant, nutritious greens and a burst of sweetness from pomegranate seeds, making it perfect for a nutritious lunch or a light dinner.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, sliced olives, finely chopped scallions, and minced garlic. Mix until well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small, oval-shaped patties (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten slightly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the kofta patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
- Remove the kofta from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- While the kofta is cooking, prepare the salad ingredients. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the salad. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Arrange the cooked lamb kofta patties on top of the salad.
- Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the entire dish for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the kofta is still warm. Enjoy this flavorful and nutritious lamb kofta salad as a main dish or a hearty side.
Tips:
- To ensure your lamb koftas are flavorful and moist, add a bit of olive oil to the mince mixture before cooking.
- Soak your red onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to mellow their sharpness if you find them too strong.
- Use a grill or grilling pan to cook your lamb koftas, giving them an authentic charred flavor.
- Chop your salad ingredients uniformly for an aesthetically pleasing presentation and even distribution of flavors.
- For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the salad just before serving.
Enjoy the harmonious blend of spices and fresh ingredients in this lamb kofta salad. Not only does it satisfy your taste buds, but it also offers a nutritious and visually pleasing meal option. Whether you’re treating yourself or impressing guests, this salad is bound to become a favorite.
