Rosemary Lamb Kofte With Creamed Corn Recipes

LAMB & ROSEMARY KOFTAS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. In a large bowl, mix together the mince, allspice and garlic. Season and shape into 8 koftas, each wrapped around a rosemary sprig, with the stalk sticking out at one end. Repeat until all the mince is used up. Brush the koftas with a little oil and place on a baking tray. Grill for 10 mins or until cooked through, turning once.
• Eat the koftas from the rosemary stalks or pull out the stalks before serving. Serve with the pitta, yogurt, lemon wedges, radishes, cucumber and pickled chillies, if using.

ROSEMARY LAMB KOFTE WITH CREAMED CORN RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Use a mortar and pestle or grinder to grind toasted spices to a fine powder. Transfer powder to a large bowl. Add paprika, 1 tablespoon salt, cayenne, garlic, lamb and 1 teaspoon Aleppo, if using, to spice mix and stir to combine. Make kofte: Evenly divide seasoned lamb into 8 parts. Mold lamb around portions of rosemary sprigs stripped of leaves to form uniform cylinders. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, lay 4 skewers into pan and cook until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer skewers to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe pan clean, add remaining oil and repeat with remaining skewers. Place browned kofte skewers on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Roast until center of meat is just a touch pink, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in corn and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream, remaining Aleppo, if using, lime zest and sumac, if using. Sauté until cream thickens and kernels are tender, about 4 minutes. Off heat, season corn with lime juice and salt to taste. To serve, divide corn among 4 plates and top each serving with 2 kofte skewers.

MARINATED GRILLED LAMB CUTLETS WITH CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Put the rosemary, garlic and rapeseed oil in a small bowl, and mash together to release the flavours. Smear over the lamb cutlets, place in a bowl or sealable food bag and leave to marinate.
• For the corn, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3 mins. Add the red pepper and stir to coat in the onion mixture. Add a splash of cold water, then cover until the pepper is soft, about 5 mins.
• Put the mixture into a food processor bowl with the sweetcorn and crème fraîche. Blitz until combined and fairly smooth. Return to the heat in a pan and warm to serve.
• Heat a griddle pan. Place the lamb cutlets in the pan and cook until pink or as cooked as you like them. Once cooked, remove from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm. Place the fennel wedges in the griddle pan and griddle until cooked and marked with char lines. Add the tomatoes for the last few mins of cooking. Eat as soon as the lamb is cooked to your liking.

LAMB KOFTA

Steps:

• Put the lamb in a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly. If the lamb is not properly mixed, the kofta will fall apart on the skewer.
• Form the lamb into small patties about the size of a walnut. Mold the patties tightly around a long skewer so they form small oval shapes. Four or five will fit on a skewer.
• Heat a broiler or charcoal coals and when hot, grill the kofta, turning once, until they are golden brown, for about 6 minutes.

CARIBBEAN SPICED LAMB STEW RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Put the meat in a large bowl, and toss with all the spices and salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight. After the meat has had a chance to marinate, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven and sear the meat in batches until browned. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside on a plate. Add the onions, garlic, and tomato paste and fry until the onions are softened. Add the meat back to the pot, along with the beef stock and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to the oven for 2 hours. Remove the pot from the oven and stir in the carrots and potatoes. Transfer back to the oven and cook uncovered for another 45 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Serve over steamed rice and garnish with cilantro.
