Method

Soak 8 wooden skewers in warm water. Put the kofta ingredients, apart from the oil, in a large bowl and season well. Mix with your hands until well combined.
Form the mixture around the skewers to make 8 koftas, then cover and chill for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile separate the little gems into leaves and mix with the apple and spring onions in a serving bowl. Whisk the lemon juice with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar, then whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil in a steady stream until you have a thick vinaigrette. Pour it over the salad and toss well to coat.

To cook the koftas, heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through. Serve with the salad.
