Lamb Koftas

Serves: 25 koftas|Prep: 35 min

These little Lamb Koftas are perfect for children as they are high in zinc, protein and iron. Combining the ground lamb with the naturally sweet flavors of dates and carrots make them even more kid-friendly (not to mention nutritious), and the small sausage shapes make them easily picked up by little hands.
