Lamb Kofta Lettuce Wraps

Juicy spiced parcels of protein, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory goodness that use lettuce instead of bread. Adding yoghurt, nuts and fresh herbs makes this Mediterranean-inspired dish tick all the nutritional boxes.

(Murdoch Books RRP $39.99)


400 g (14 oz) minced (ground) lamb 

2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cumin 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1 teaspoon salt 

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 teaspoon lemon zest 

1 tablespoon dried mint 

olive oil, for frying kofta

260 g (9¼ oz/1 cup) Greek-style yoghurt 

8 large cos (romaine) lettuce leaves

SALAD

40 g (1½ oz/¼ cup) hazelnuts (filberts), toasted, skins removed and roughly chopped 

65 g (2½ oz/½ cup) crumbled feta cheese

2 large tomatoes, chopped 

handful of fresh marjoram, chopped 

2 tablespoons lemon juice 

2 tablespoons olive oil

Use your hands to knead together the lamb mince and the spices, garlic, lemon zest and mint until really well blended. Divide into eight portions and roll into football-shaped ovals with your hands. Put them on a plate in the fridge while you make the salad. 

To make the salad, put all of the ingredients in a small bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Heat a barbecue, chargrill pan or frying pan to medium–high heat and smear with a little olive oil. Add the koftas and cook for 3–4 minutes. Don’t move them until a crust develops, then turn over and cook each side. Remove from the heat. 

To assemble, place a spoonful of yoghurt onto each lettuce leaf, add a spoonful of salad and top with a kofta. Fold the lettuce around the filling and eat.
