Ingredients

  • about 450 g Ground Lamb
  • 1/2 medium Onion
  • 1/4 cup Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the about 450 g Ground Lamb, the 1/2 medium Onion (grated), the 1/4 cup Parsley (chopped), the 1 teaspoon Cumin, the 1 teaspoon Coriander, the 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder, the 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. Mix everything together with your hands until it is well combined.
  2. 2Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small, elongated shape, about 7.62-10.16 cm long, and gently press them onto skewers.
  3. 3Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is about 175°C.
  4. 4Place the kofta skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes, until the kofta are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 71°C.
  5. 5While the kofta are grilling, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Tahini, the 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice, the 2 tablespoons Water, and the 1 clove Garlic (minced). Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired dipping consistency.
  6. 6Once the kofta are cooked, remove them from the grill. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve the grilled lamb kofta skewers with the tahini sauce for dipping.
