Grilled Ground Lamb Kofta

Ingredients:

  • 8 Bamboo skewers
  • 1/4 cup Onion (grated)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 lbs Ground lamb

Directions:

  1. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Pat dry.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the lamb. Add the lamb and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  3. Divide the meat into 16 sections. Mold each section of meat around a bamboo skewer, making it a few inches long and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. You’ll fit 2 sections of meat per skewer, about 1-2 inches apart.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 3-5 more minutes, to desired level of doneness. Time on the second side will be about 2 minutes for medium rare, 3 minutes for medium, 4 minutes for medium-well and 5 minutes for well done.
