Lamb Kofta Skewers with Zhoug

Ingredients

• 1 lb 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)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb 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.
2. 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.
3. 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is about 400-450°F (200-230°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean.
4. 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 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer. They should feel firm to the touch.
5. 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.
6. 6Serve the 8 kofta skewers hot. Spoon the 1/4 cup Zhoug (Yemenite Hot Sauce) alongside the skewers for dipping.
