Ingredients

4 servings
Onion0.5 medium
Cumin1 tsp
Garlic2 cloves
Salt0.75 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp
Olive oil2 tbsp
Cucumber1 medium
Red onion0.5 small

Method

1

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using; have metal skewers ready. Pat ground lamb dry with paper towels.

2

Finely mince onion, garlic, and parsley. In a large bowl, combine lamb, minced onion, parsley, garam masala, cumin, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—do not overwork.

3

Divide lamb mixture into 8–12 equal portions. Mold each portion around the length of a skewer, pressing gently to form a firm oblong shape about 4 inches long. Brush all sides lightly with olive oil.

4

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 400°F). Place kofta on grill, leaving space between skewers. Grill 5–6 minutes per side until the exterior is charred and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

5

Rest kofta on a plate for 2 minutes.

6

Warm pita bread on the grill or in a dry skillet. Arrange cucumber and red onion on a serving platter. Transfer kofta to a platter and drizzle with tahini-lemon sauce. Serve with warmed pita and fresh vegetables on the side for assembling wraps.
