- Working in batches, cook the lamb keftedes in a skillet with the vegetable oil over high heat, flattening slightly with a spatula, until browned well on both sides. Transfer seared keftedes to a baking sheet, then transfer to oven. Bake until brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve with tzatziki or Greek yogurt and lemon wedges.
