Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the kofta mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic cloves, finely chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2
Shape the koftas

Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer, pressing the mixture tightly to form an elongated sausage shape.

3
Prepare the yogurt sauce

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, finely chopped mint leaves, and the juice of half a lemon. Stir well and set aside.

4
Grill the koftas

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the koftas with olive oil. Grill the koftas for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly cooked and slightly charred on the outside.

5
Let the koftas rest

Remove the koftas from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

6
Serve and enjoy

Serve the Lamb Koftas with the yogurt sauce on the side, along with pita bread and a fresh salad if desired.
