Juicy, herb-packed lamb kofta, grilled to perfection and bursting with bold spices. A quick, satisfying bite that brings street-side flavor directly to your plate.
Ingredients
4 servings
Ground lamb (80/20 fat)250 g
Fresh parsley15 g
Fresh mint5 g
Garlic1 clove
Ground cumin1 tsp
Ground coriander0.5 tsp
Red pepper flakes0.25 tsp
Lemon zest0.5 tsp
Sea salt1 tsp
Black pepper0.5 tsp
Tallow or Avocado oil10 g
Method
1
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh mint, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
2
Using your hands, thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined and slightly sticky. This helps bind the kofta without eggs.
3
Divide the mixture into 3-4 equal portions. Form each portion into an elongated oval shape around a metal skewer or simply into a thick sausage shape if not using skewers.
4
Heat the tallow or avocado oil in a large skillet or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
5
Cook the kofta skewers for 4-6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level (around 160°F / 71°C).
6
Remove from heat and serve hot, directly from the pan or grill. No fancy plating needed for this street food classic!
