Juicy, spiced ground lamb formed onto skewers and grilled to perfection. A bold and simple hand-held bite, bursting with savory flavor and a hint of zest, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
4 servings
Ground lamb (80/20 fat ratio)600 g
Fresh parsley, finely chopped0.25 cup
Garlic powder1.5 tsp
Ground cumin1.5 tsp
Smoked paprika1 tsp
Sea salt1 tsp
Black pepper0.5 tsp
Cayenne pepper (optional)0.25 tsp
Olive oil1 tbsp
Metal or wooden skewers8
Method
1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you like a little heat).
3
Using your hands, thoroughly mix the ingredients until they are just combined and evenly distributed throughout the lamb. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the kofta tough.
4
Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Form each portion around a skewer, shaping it into an elongated cylinder about 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) long and 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
5
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the formed kofta skewers with olive oil.
6
Grill the kofta skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning them occasionally, until they are nicely browned on all sides and cooked through. An internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) is recommended for medium doneness.
7
Serve the Zesty Lamb Kofta Skewers hot off the grill for a flavorful and easy-to-eat street food experience.
