Servings koftas
Ingredients
- 1 small onion grated
- 500 g minced ground lamb
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 1 and ½ teaspoon ground all spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers to make kebabs
- Garlic yogurt sauce to serve
- Cucumbers and tomatoes to serve
- Pitas to serve
Instructions
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water.
- Squeeze out all the liquid from grated onions. Set aside.
- Place onions, minced (ground) meat, garlic, parsley, sumac, all spice, cumin, cinnamon and coriander to a large bowl. Mix. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Preheat grill. I made these koftas in a grill pan with the induction cooktop on “grill” mode.
- Divide the meat mixture into 10 equal portions. Shape them into cylinders.
- Skewer it, squeezing it to mold it to the skewer.
- Cook, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes on each sides or until cooked through.
- The cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the koftas and how hot the grill is.
- Serve with garlic yogurt sauce.

Notes
- Although these kebabs are usually made with parsley, you can also substitute it with coriander (cilantro) leaves.
