Servings: 10 shishes

Ingredients

  • 500 g lamb mince
  • 40 g parsley
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 20 g sun-dried tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Dice the onion and parsley, and crush the garlic. In a mixing bowl, add these to the lamb mince, along with the tomato paste, salt, cumin and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
  • Cover the mixing bowl with cling film (saran wrap) and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
  • Spread out the mince evenly on each shish stick. Do so by forming the meat into balls and skewering onto the shish. You can add chopped vegetables in between each shish.
  • Cook on a grill pan, griddle or BBQ grill. Cook for around 5 minutes on each side, or until kofte is fully cooked through and seared. Enjoy!
