KOFTA KEBABS



Kofta Kebabs image

These kebabs have 6 different kinds of spices; the first time I smelled them I knew immediately that I had to find the recipe. The most affordable way to purchase the spices is in bulk at either a health food store or an Asian or Middle-Eastern market. They are very good! Serve with yogurt, flat bread, lettuce, tomato and cucumber.

Time 1h20m

Yield 28

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound ground lamb
3 tablespoons grated onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
28 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Mash the garlic into a paste with the salt using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on your cutting board. Mix the garlic into the lamb along with the onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well blended. Form the mixture into 28 balls. Form each ball around the tip of a skewer, flattening into a 2 inch oval; repeat with the remaining skewers. Place the kebabs onto a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
  • Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the lamb has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 6 minutes for medium.

CHEF JOHN'S KOFTA KEBABS



Chef John's Kofta Kebabs image

I'm excited to share what is one of my all-time favorite things to grill. This is perfect for those times when you want to take a break from grilling burgers, but you also kinda want a grilled burger, since this is basically a Mediterranean-style meatball on a stick. I know "shish" gets more love, but "kofta" might be the best kebab. Serve over a tomato, onion, and cucumber salad with flatbread or pita and a lemony tahini dressing.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 slice whole grain bread, toasted
½ medium yellow onion, diced
⅓ cup chopped Italian parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces ground beef
4 ounces ground lamb
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons water
4 bamboo skewers, soaked for at least 1 hour

Steps:

  • Cut toasted bread slice into thin strips on a cutting board; cut strips across into a small dice.
  • Place onion, parsley, and garlic on top of diced bread on the cutting board; chop until mixture resembles tabbouleh.
  • Season beef and lamb with kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, and cayenne. Add onion mixture and water. Mix and mash with your hands until well combined.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll ¼ of the mixture into a ball using wet hands. Pierce in the middle with a bamboo skewer. Shape meat into a uniform log, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
  • Place kebabs on the hot grill until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve.
