Keto Lamb Kofta Skewers with Tzatziki

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the about 450 g ground lamb, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 1 tsp cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
2. 2Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small sausage shape, about 7.5-10 cm long. Thread two kofta onto each of the 4 skewers.
3. 3Preheat your grill or a large skillet to medium-high heat, around 200°C.
4. 4Place the kofta skewers on the hot grill or in the skillet. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning them every few minutes, until the kofta are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 72°C.
5. 5While the kofta are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a separate medium bowl, combine the 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup grated and drained cucumber, 1 minced clove garlic, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
6. 6Once the kofta are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
7. 7Serve the 4 lamb kofta skewers immediately with the prepared tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
