Grilled Kofta Kebabs Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 pound ground lamb
• 3 tablespoons grated onion
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 28 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

1. Create a garlic paste by mashing garlic with salt using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on your cutting board.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic paste with ground lamb, onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, and black pepper until thoroughly mixed.
3. Shape the mixture into 28 small balls. Press each ball around the tip of a skewer, flattening it into a 2-inch oval shape. Repeat with the remaining skewers. Arrange the prepared kebabs on a baking sheet, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
4. Prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to medium heat and lightly oiling the grill grate.
5. Place the skewers on the preheated grill, turning them occasionally, until they are nicely browned and fully cooked, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the center of a kebab reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
6. Serve the kofta kebabs immediately and enjoy!
