A new addition to its growing list of ready meals ingredients has been unveiled by Snowbird foods. Its Lamb Koftes are irregularly shaped pieces, which are fully cooked and frozen as part of the production process so they can easily be incorporated within prepared ready meals.

They contain in excess of 90% lamb and the company has used more than 20 herbs, spices and flavourings to generate an authentic Middle Eastern taste. These include onion, potato starch, black pepper, cardamom, chilli, cloves, coriander, cumin, ginger, nutmeg, paprika, mint, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, mustard seeds, salt, garlic powder, red bell peppers and crushed chillies.

"This is another example of our being able to generate an authentic recipe because of the inspired work of our new product development team," says commercial and marketing director, Roy Anderson.
