Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground lamb
• 1/4 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
• 1 tsp Cumin
• to taste Salt and pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup Cucumber, grated and drained
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb 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 3-4 inches long. Thread two kofta onto each of the 4 skewers.
3. 3Preheat your grill or a large skillet to medium-high heat, around 400°F (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 160°F (71°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.
