Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Juice of half a lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Start by preparing the Tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
Next, prepare the lamb mixture. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4-6 portions and mold each around a soaked wooden skewer, shaping into elongated kebabs.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
Serve the Lamb Kofta Kebabs hot, accompanied by the chilled Tzatziki sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired for an added touch.
