Ingredients
- about 450 g Ground Lamb
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Coriander
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup Zhoug (Yemenite Hot Sauce)
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified. Source temperature equivalents could not be reconciled. Check the original instruction before cooking.
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the about 450 g Ground Lamb, 1/2 Onion (grated), 2 cloves Garlic (minced), 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped), 1 tsp Cumin, 1 tsp Coriander, 1/2 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Black Pepper. Mix everything together with your hands until it is evenly combined.
- 2Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small oblong shape around a skewer, like a small sausage. You should have 8 kofta skewers.
- 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is about 400-450°F (200-230°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean.
- 4Place the 8 kofta skewers onto the preheated grill. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. The kofta should be browned on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 72°C when checked with a meat thermometer. They should feel firm to the touch.
- 5Remove the kofta skewers from the grill. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, making them more tender.
- 6Serve the 8 kofta skewers hot. Spoon the 1/4 cup Zhoug (Yemenite Hot Sauce) alongside the skewers for dipping.
