Keto Lamb Kofta
Kofta is usually balls of meat mixed with various spices and is a food commonly served in the Middle East. Traditionally, Kofta is served with a dressing of Tzatziki (you'll find a recipe for Keto-friendly Tzatziki in the 'Sauces' section). If you are looking to lower oxalate levels, then halve the amount of spices used.
In this recipe, we use a combination of lamb and beef mince, which will give you six kofta servings.
