Ingredients
 

Lamb Kofta

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ½ lb ground lamb
  • ½ tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp aleppo pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely diced

Dill Kefir Dressing

  • ½ cup @LifewayKefir Organic Grass-fed kefir
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Salad

  • 4 cups greens of choice
  • 1 small radicchio, chopped
  • handful fresh parsley, mint and dill

Almond & Pistachio Dukkah

  • ½ cup toasted almonds
  • ½ cup toasted pistachios
  • 3 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • dash salt

Instructions
 

For the Lamb

  • In a medium bowl, add meat then season with all of the seasonings. Mix well, then add in red onion and parsley. Mix again until fully combined. 
  • Let the lamb sit for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to mesh.
  • Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet, once hot add lamb. Pan fry them on a medium high heat. Cooking for 8-10 minutes or until crispy on all sides. Once finished, I like to cover with a lid to keep cooking slightly.

Dressing

  • Add all ingredients to a mason jar or glass. Stir until fully combined. 

Almond & Pistachio Dukkah

  • Add toasted almonds, pistachios, and sesame seeds to food processor. Then add fennel seeds, spices and dash of salt. Pulse for a few seconds until you get a course mixture. (You don’t want to push too long or it’ll become too finely ground.

Salad

  • Add greens, radicchio, fresh herbs and almond dukkah to a large bowl. Toss to combine. Drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss again. 
  • Top with more fresh herbs and dukkah. Serve with lamb kofta. Enjoy!
