  Yummy! Added cumin and substituted mint for fresh parsley in the mince mix and used a tin of plum tomatoes, fennel seeds and fresh chilli in the sauce. Didn't have any harissa but it tasted great regardless.

  Made these for dinner last night exactly as recipe states and they were delicious! Served with couscous and pittas to mop up sauce. My husband even said they were better than the ones we had at the Persian restaurant the other weekend. Will def make again!

  Were really good. Added a bit of ground cumin, bit of tomato puree and some fresh coriander to the kofte. Used some sambal instead of harissa. Hell of a spicy kick! Will definately be making again.

  Really tasty and fairly easy to make. Well, I managed to make it while camping so it can't be that difficult!

  I made these for a family party and they were delicious! I added a bit more harissa than the recipe states and mixed the greek yogurt in for richness and it was lovely. I served it in a big dish with all the sticks pointing outwards and it looked great - gone in a flash!

  Used some chopped lamb and fried with onion, coriander, and mint. Put them on the sauce and yogurt with couscous. It tasted so great. Even if you don't have minced lamb, still you should try it.

  I made this as a sharing dish for friends last night and they thought it was marvelous. I added a little extra harissa since i like a kick, the yoghurt cools it down for more sensitive people (but no one had any complaints). I would say to make sure you compact the mince tightly onto the skewers otherwise you might have a bit if an aesthetic disaster at the grilling stage. Toasted pine nuts were a wonderful touch though and make it that little bit more special. I'll definitely make it again.

  Very nice!! Didn't have the harissa so used sweet chiili sauce instead and this seemed to work OK. I also used beef mince as I'm the only one on the family who likes lamb. Worked well. Thankyou.

  I tried these as I had some mint which needed using up and both my husband and I enjoyed them. Will try different variations.

  My family said as soon as they took their first bite "you can make this again", so definitely a hit. Didn't use mint as my husband doesn't like it , and added a bit of cumin and a chicken stock cube crumbled into the mixture. Highly recommend! Served separately from the sauce by the way as the rest of the family don't like tomato based sauces, but it was delicious (with double amount of harissa)
