Lamb Kofta
Ingredients
- 1½ lb ground lamb (I used half lamb / half beef)
- ½ C onion, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 TBSP mint leaves, chopped
- 1 TBSP flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp coriander seeds (or 1 tsp ground coriander)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Directions
Soak 24 bamboo skewers in water for at least 6 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Combine the ground beef with the onion, garlic, salt, herbs and spices in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands to distribute the ingredients.
- Shape the meat into sausage-sized cylinders around two skewers (about 1/3 cup meat per skewer). Place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meat is cooked through but not overdone. You could also grill the skewers.
- Serve with lemon herb sauce or Paleo cucumber mint raita for dipping.
