Im really fond of myMiddle Eastern Kebabs, but they require more spices than these!

So this easy recipe really appealed to me.

They really did take 30 minutes to make, from start to finish.

I dont know about you, but I dont even know where to get lamb fat here in Sydney!

So to make this midweek, I made a few alterations.

I kept the spice mix the same super simple,just pepper, cumin and red pepper flakes.

But I added extra flavour by adding onion and garlic to compensate for the absence of lamb fat.

They definitely add an extra layer of flavour and richness into the lamb kofta kebabs.

But these are worth making even if you dont have pistachios.
