30 BEST Lamb Recipes
This collection of great Lamb Recipes includes plenty of great weeknight dinners, as well as special occasion meals. We love these tasty kebabs:
Ingredients
- 1.5lbs ground lamb
- 1/2 small onion, grated and squeezed
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/2 Tbsp sumac (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Store it covered in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight for enhanced flavors.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to an hour.
- Divide the mixture into 8 roughly even balls. Mold each ball into a cylinder. Insert the skewer into the kebab. They should be about 1 inch in thickness.
- Place the kofta kebabs on the preheated, oiled griddle pan (see notes for oven and grill instructions). Cook until cooked and browned throughout, rotating the skewers with tongs every 2-3 minutes, for a total of 8-10 mins. The cooking time will depend upon the thickness of kebabs.
- Serve immediately with side fixings like tomato, cucumber, onion, tzatziki, feta, saffron rice or pita bread.
