Moroccan Lamb Kefta Skewers with Dairy-Free Yogurt Dip

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Lamb
• 1/2 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 1/4 cup Parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 cup Dairy-Free Yogurt (e.g., coconut or soy-based)
• 2 tablespoons Mint (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 lb Ground Lamb, the 1/2 medium Onion (finely chopped), the 2 cloves Garlic (minced), the 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped), the 1/4 cup Parsley (chopped), the 1 teaspoon Cumin, the 1 teaspoon Paprika, the 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon, the 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until it is evenly distributed.
2. 2Shape the lamb mixture into 16 small sausage shapes, about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick. Thread two sausage shapes onto each of 8 skewers.
3. 3Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium heat, which is approximately 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Place the kefta skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes, until the lamb is browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
5. 5While the skewers are cooking, prepare the dairy-free yogurt dip. In a small bowl, combine the 1 cup Dairy-Free Yogurt, the 2 tablespoons Mint (chopped), and the 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice. Stir until well combined.
6. 6Remove the kefta skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve the Moroccan Lamb Kefta Skewers with the dairy-free yogurt dip on the side.
