Grilled Kofta

Step 1

In a large bowl combine the ground beef and lamb, grated onion and chopped parsley. Add in the minced garlic, all of the spices and salt using your hands mix everything together, making sure that the spices are well distributed throughout.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and form them into long thin shapes around the skewers. Wet your hands and gently roll the koftas on a clean surface to make them evenly thin and smooth.

Step 3

Heat a grill to medium high heat or alternatively turn on a sandwich press and lightly grease. Place the kofta on the grill and leave to cook for a total of 8 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and brown on all sides.

Step 4

While the kofta are cooking prepare the tahini lemon sauce. In a blender combine the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and water and blend until smooth. Add a splash more water if the sauce is still too thick, it should have a very light consistency.

Step 5

Serve the Kofta garnished with chopped parsley and the tahini lemon sauce drizzled over top or on the side for dipping.
