The Kofta Spice Blend adds an incredible depth of flavour to the dish, making it a perfect choice for a family meal or a dinner party with friends. This recipe serves 4 to 5 people.
Ingredients
- 500g ground lamb
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tsp Kofta Spice Blend
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using)
Directions
A large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onions, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped coriander, Kofta Spice Blend, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape each portion into a sausage-like shape around the skewers.
Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are cooked through and have a nice, golden-brown colour.
Serve the Lamb Kofta Kebabs with warm pita bread, a side of salad, and a dollop of yogurt or tahini sauce.
Recipe Note
Kofta is believed to have originated in the Middle East during the 9th century and has since spread to various regions, including Central Asia, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean. The word "kofta" comes from the Persian word "kuftan," which means "to beat" or "to grind," referring to the process of grinding the meat for the dish. Kofta is made using a variety of meats, such as beef, lamb, or chicken, and is typically seasoned with a blend of spices and herbs. The Kofta Spice Blend used in this recipe is inspired by the traditional flavours of the Middle East, giving the dish an authentic taste that will transport you to the streets of Istanbul or Beirut. Enjoy!
