  • •1 egg

  • •1 tsp ground coriander
  • •1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • •1 tsp salt
  • •1/2 tsp black pepper
  • •2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. 1Mix ground lamb, parsley, mint, minced onion, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined.
  2. 2Divide mixture into 8 equal portions and mold each around a metal skewer or wooden stick into an oblong shape.
  3. 3Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

💡 Kofta kebab mixture should be chilled if it feels soft; cold fat helps the meat cling to skewers during the first minutes of cooking.
