Ingredients
500 g ground lamb (minced lamb) - Preferably grass-fed for enhanced flavor
1 cup mint - Fresh leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon cumin - Freshly ground if possible
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika - For a hint of warmth
1 teaspoon salt - Or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper - Freshly ground
1 tablespoon olive oil - For grilling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince with chopped mint leaves, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long kebab around skewers, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the kebabs with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the lamb is cooked through and has a slight char.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the mixture. If you prefer a more citrusy note, add the zest of one lemon.
