Koftas -

1. If planning to cook on BBQ grill or under oven grill, soak the skewer sticks for 30 minutes prior to threading meat on.
2. In a food processor, chop onion, garlic and mint, then add the minced lamb, seasonings and breadcrumbs.
3. With damp hands, divide the meat into 8 equal pieces. Form onto skewers sausage like. Brush with oil if grilling.
4. Bake in oven/grill: Preheat and cook koftas for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.

Savoury Rice -
