Method
Lamb Kofta
1
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until just combined – do not overmix.
2
Form the Skewers: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Form each portion around a skewer (metal or wooden, soaked in water if wooden) into an elongated cylindrical shape. Gently press to secure it firmly to the skewer.
3
Cook the Skewers: Heat a grill or a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the cooking surface. Cook the kofta skewers for 4-6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through. An internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) is recommended.
Herb Drizzle
4
While the kofta cooks, whisk together olive oil, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of sea salt if desired.
Plate
5
Arrange the cooked lamb skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the fresh herb mixture just before serving.
