Juicy, herb-packed lamb kofta, grilled to perfection and bursting with bold spices. A quick, satisfying bite that brings street-side flavor directly to your plate.

Ingredients

• Ground lamb (80/20 fat)250 g
• Fresh parsley15 g
• Fresh mint5 g
• Garlic1 clove
• Ground cumin1 tsp
• Ground coriander0.5 tsp
• Red pepper flakes0.25 tsp
• Lemon zest0.5 tsp
• Sea salt1 tsp
• Black pepper0.5 tsp
• Tallow or Avocado oil10 g

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh mint, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
2. Using your hands, thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined and slightly sticky. This helps bind the kofta without eggs.
3. Divide the mixture into 3-4 equal portions. Form each portion into an elongated oval shape around a metal skewer or simply into a thick sausage shape if not using skewers.
4. Heat the tallow or avocado oil in a large skillet or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
5. Cook the kofta skewers for 4-6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level (around 160°F / 71°C).
6. Remove from heat and serve hot, directly from the pan or grill. No fancy plating needed for this street food classic!
