I tweaked the flavors / seasoning from the original to be a bit more Mediterranean / kofta-inspired. I didn't have currants, so I used golden raisins which added lovely sweetness! These take so well to edits -- you could add za'atar or cumin, you could replace the currants with some finely chopped nuts, you could certainly try other types of meat besides lamb... YUM
