Moroccan lamb koftas

Ingredients :
450g/1lb minced lamb
2 eggs, lightly beaten
200g/7oz stale coarse fresh breadcrumbs
2 onions, grated
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon chilli powder
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground allspice

For the yogurt sauce
50ml/2fl oz Greek-style yogurt
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini paste

How to make
- In a blender or food processor, purée all the ingredients until smooth and paste-like. Divide the lamb mixture into two portions, and mould each half around a separate metal skewer to form two long sausage shapes.
- Just before serving, grill or barbecue both of the koftas until browned and cooked through, turning from time to time while cooking.
- Combine all the ingredients for the yogurt sauce in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water, mix well and serve with the hot or warm koftas.
