Lamb Kofta for dinner tonight!

In my freezer I had a package of ground lamb from Snoep Winkle Farm(Isn't that a great name!) So last night I made lamb kofta. Basically, it's a lamb meatball with lots of middle eastern spices. The recipe calls for pressing the mixture onto wooden skewers and placing them on the grill. I prefer to just make them into oblong meatballs and grill them. This is my adaptation of lamb kofta.

Ingredients

1 lb ground lamb

3 tablespoons grated onion

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/4 cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger2 tablespoons thyme
1 tablespoon chili pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
4 pita breads
yogurt for serving

 

 

 
 

Place all ingredients together in a bowl. Mix well.


Form into oblong meatballs.

 
Grill the kofta on a grill on medium heat. Sear one side for 3 minutes, turn and cook for another 6.

Enjoy!
