Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
  • 1/2 cup finely grated yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons Harissa Infused Olive Oil Blend plus more for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 8 wooden or metal skewers
  • Warm pita for serving
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Sliced cucumber for serving
  • Chopped tomato for serving

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl Large enough to combine the lamb mixture
  • 8 Skewers Wooden or metal
  • 1 Grill Preheated to medium-high
  • 1 Tongs For turning the kofta
  • 1 set Measuring spoons For seasonings and oil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated onion, garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, Harissa Infused Olive Oil Blend, and lemon juice.
  3. Mix gently with your hands until the seasoning is evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  4. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape each portion around a skewer into an even log shape.
  5. Place the kofta on a tray and chill for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill to medium-high.
  6. Oil the grates, then grill the kofta for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once or twice, until well browned and cooked through.
  7. Brush lightly with a little extra Harissa Infused Olive Oil Blend during the last minute of grilling for a glossy finish.
  8. Serve hot with warm pita, lemon wedges, cucumber, and tomato.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the mixing gentle and the kofta evenly shaped. If the mixture feels soft, chill it briefly before grilling. Serve with bright, fresh sides to balance the bold harissa flavor.
