Ooh, these lamb koftas are quite the treat! They can be baked in a bulk batch, eat half for dinner in wraps or with mash, and freeze the other half. They defrost and reheat really well for a quick meal another time. You can also use seasonal veges and herbs in them! Drizzle some pesto + …
I used to make a version of these, which were famous at BBQ’s and everyone would be happy that my ‘bring a plate’ was Pork and Lime Patties. The recipe came from a cookbook I had (still have) called A Taste of Indochina by Jan Castorina. They were sticky, zesty, savoury mouth fulls, but delicate, …
