Summer Time Grilling ( Lamb Kofta)

Summer has finally arrived and it time to fire up those grills. Todays menu is Lamb Kofta. Great and easy appetizer to make all year long

Lamb Kofta

Ingredients:

4 Cloves garlic , minced
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Lbs ground Lamb
3 Tbs. Grated Onion
3 Tbs. Chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbs. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. ground allspice
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
¼ tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
12-15 wooden skewers


Directions:


  Mash the garlic into a paste with the salt using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on your cutting board. Mix the garlic into the lamb along with the onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well blended. Form the mixture into 12-15 balls. Form each ball around the tip of a skewer, flattening into a 2 inch oval; repeat with the remaining skewers. Place the kebabs onto a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
Preheat  grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the lamb has cooked to 165F.
