Lamb Koftas and Resolute
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 12 12-in metal or wooden skewers
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes before beginning.
- Combine all the kofta ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until evenly combined (your hands are the best tool).
- Divide into six (6) equal portions and form into log shapes. Insert a skewer into the middle of each piece. Place on a baking sheet.
- To Grill: When ready to grill, prepare a gas or charcoal grill with a direct grilling area set to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, clean the grates and oil.
- Add the lamb kofta directly over the flame and close the lid. Grill, turning frequently until firm, but not hard and cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Keep the lid on when not turning the skewers.
- Remove the koftas to a clean baking sheet.
- To Serve: Spoon a thin layer of hummus on the bottom of a plate, remove the koftas from the skewers, and place them on top of the hummus. Serve with cucumber and tomato salad and warm pita on the side.
- Serve with Iron Hub Resolute.
