Bite Size Lamb Kafta Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Skewers

   Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning when grilling.

2. 2

   Mix Ingredients

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

3. 3

   Shape the Kafta

   With damp hands, take a small portion of the lamb mixture and mold it around a soaked wooden skewer, forming a long, sausage-like shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

4. 4

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Grill the Kafta

   Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the lamb is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Make sure to turn them carefully to avoid breaking.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or pita bread.
