Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.

- Chop the fresh parsley.
- In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, allspice, chopped parsley, lightly beaten egg, and bread crumbs.
- Mix thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small, elongated patties or oval-shaped balls, about the size of a golf ball.
- Place the shaped koftas on a plate or tray.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the mini lamb koftas in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the koftas are browned and cooked through.
- Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
- Transfer the cooked koftas to a serving plate.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or accompaniments, such as tzatziki, hummus, pita bread, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Finely chop the onion and garlic to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the lamb mixture.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs to help bind it together.
- Chill the kofta mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before shaping into mini patties. This will make the mixture easier to handle.
- Use wet hands to shape the koftas into patties to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
- Cook the lamb koftas over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and remain juicy.
- Consider cooking the koftas on a grill for an added smoky flavor.
