Ingredients
- 500g lamb mince
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon saffron threads, soaked in 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, chopped onion, minced garlic, saffron threads with its soaking water, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 8-10 portions, depending on desired kofta size. Shape each portion into a ball and then flatten slightly into a skewer-friendly shape.
- Thread the koftas onto metal skewers, leaving a small space between each kofta.
- Brush the koftas with olive oil and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
