Spices lamb kefta, homemade tzaziki |

Preparation time: 25 min

Preheat your BBQ at 500 °F

• Kefta

  With the exception of the bread crumbs and lamb, blend all of the ingredients until you get a smooth consistency.

  In a mixing bowl, combine the lamb and purée and add bread crumbs if necessary.  Season with salt and pepper.  Form your keftas and then skewer them.

  Preheat the BBQ on maximum heat.  Sear the keftas for roughly 2 minutes on each side and then continue to cook with indirect heat if necessary (depending on the size).

• Tzaziki sauce

  Start 3 small pots of boiling water.  Blanch the garlic cloves for 15 seconds in each of the 3 pots without re-using the cooking water.  Set aside.

  In a food processor, combine the garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice and zest with a little olive oil and blend until smooth.

  Grate the cucumber and then squeeze the flesh to remove the excess water.

  Combine the yogourt, grated cucumber as well as the garlic and herb mixture.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
