Keto Mediterranean Lamb KebabsKeto Mediterranean Lamb KebabsKeto Mediterranean Lamb Kebabs. Kebabs (Kefta or Kofta) made with ground meats are a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine and this is another one of mine. Not long ago I put up a recipe for keto Middle Eastern Kebabs which has a totally different flavor profile than these keto Mediterranean lamb kebabs. They are both made with ground lamb but that is where most similarities ends so ah, I guess you will have to try them both to see which you might like best. The Middle Eastern kebabs are served with Tzatziki and these are served with a Tahini Sauce. As you also can see I learned I didn’t have to use a mixing bowl for the kebab mixture. I just left it on the butcher paper and mixed it with that little spatula.
