    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    500g essential Waitrose lamb mince
    1 tsp ground cumin
    2 tsp ground coriander
    2 tsp ground turmeric
    1 tsp cayenne pepper
    3 garlic cloves, crushed
    200g essential Waitrose creamy soft cheese
    2 tbsp olive oil
    handful fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
    4 salad onions, finely chopped
    handful fresh coriander

    Method

    1. Soak 8 wooden skewers in just-boiled water. Mix the lamb mince with the spices and 2 crushed garlic cloves. Season and fry a small amount of the mixture in a pan to check the flavour. Set aside in the fridge to chill and firm up.

    2. Meanwhile, make the dip by mixing the soft cheese, oil, chopped mint, remaining crushed garlic clove and the lemon zest and juice. Season and stir in the salad onions; set aside while you prepare the koftas.

    3. Divide the spiced mince mixture into 8 and shape each into a sausage around a wooden skewer. Set a griddle pan over a high heat and cook the koftas for 8-10 minutes, turning regularly, until cooked through. Serve with the coriander and cream cheese dip, plus a mixed salad and flatbread, if liked.
