Lamb Kofta Skewers

Advanced & Core Plan

Serves 4

This is a different tasting meatball that you have to try.  Kofta, found frequently in South Asia and the Middle East feature ground meat with exotic spices.  The flavor is unique and delightful.

IMG_13174 cloves garlic, minced or pressed (or 1 tablespoon garlic paste if pressed for time)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 pound grass-fed ground lamb
3 tablespoons grated onion
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon black pepper

skewers (8 small or 4 large), soaked in water for 30 minutes.

Make a garlic paste by mashing the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife.  Mix the garlic past and all the other ingredients together until thoroughly combined.  Form the mixture into 16 balls.  Pick up and flatten a bit and put on the skewer (should be a flat-ish oval shape).  Chill for 30 minutes to overnight for best flavor.

Heat a grill (indoor or outdoor) and grease grates with coconut oil if necessary.  Cook, turning once or twice until cooked throughout.  It should take 8-10 minutes.
