Instructions for making Lamb Kofta Kebabs:
Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Shape the Kebabs: Take a small handful of the lamb mixture and shape it around a soaked wooden skewer, forming it into a long sausage-like shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture and skewers.
Chill the Kebabs: Place the kebabs on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape when cooking.
Cook the Kebabs: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the lamb is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serve: Serve the lamb kofta kebabs hot, with a side of pita bread, fresh salad, and a drizzle of yogurt sauce or tzatziki.
