Ingredients
- 1 cup coarsely chopped watercress leaves
- 2 tbsp chopped oregano leaves
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- 125 ml (½ cup) olive oil
- 60 ml (¼ cup) red wine vinegar
Lamb kofta
- 600 g lamb mince
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 3 tsp ground cumin
- 3 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp chilli flakes
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the barbecue chargrill (or the oven to 180˚C).
- For the lamb kofta, place all the ingredients into a bowl and use your hands to combine well. Once you're happy with the seasoning, shape 100 g portions around metal skewers and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- For the watercress chimichurri, place the watercress, oregano, parsley, jalapeño red onion and garlic in a bowl and stir to combine well. Mix in the salt, olive oil and vinegar. You can also place all the un-chopped ingredients in a small food processor and blitz until coarsely chopped.
