Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 500g ground lamb
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fathead dough for wrapping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, almond flour, egg, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Once the mixture is combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- While the lamb mixture is resting, prepare the Fathead dough. If you don't have pre-made Fathead dough, you can make it by melting 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 cup of almond flour to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.
- On a clean surface, roll out the Fathead dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into rectangles large enough to wrap around the lamb mixture.
- Take a portion of the lamb mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into a log. Place it at one end of a rectangle of Fathead dough.
- Carefully roll the dough over the lamb mixture, tucking it in as you go to ensure a tight seal. Pinch the edges to secure the filling inside.
- Repeat the process with the remaining lamb mixture and Fathead dough until all ingredients are used.
- Place the wrapped sausage rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Lamb Kofta Fathead Sausage Rolls warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt on the side.
Tips
- Meat Mixing Magic: When combining the lamb mixture, use your hands to ensure even distribution of spices. Cold hands work best to prevent the meat from becoming too warm and sticky.
- Chill Out: Letting the lamb mixture rest in the refrigerator helps the flavors meld and makes the meat easier to handle when shaping.
- Dough Consistency is Key: If your Fathead dough is too sticky, don't panic! Gradually add a little more almond flour until you achieve a workable texture.
- Seal the Deal: When wrapping the sausage rolls, pinch the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Golden Perfection: Brushing the tops with olive oil will give your sausage rolls a beautiful golden-brown finish and add an extra layer of flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: These rolls are perfect with a cool yogurt dip or a tangy tzatziki sauce to complement the warm, spiced lamb.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the lamb mixture and Fathead dough in advance, making these rolls perfect for meal prep or quick entertaining!
