Time 36m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
1 small shallot, minced (about 3 tablespoons)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced (or ground) ginger
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 pound ground lamb
½ bunch parsley, finely chopped
¼ bunch mint leaves, finely chopped
salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place small skillet over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, add 1 teaspoon oil. Add shallot, garlic and ginger (if using fresh minced) to skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add cumin and coriander (and ginger, if using dry ground) and continue to sauté for 1 minute. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Remove shallot mixture from heat and slightly cool, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine ground lamb, shallot mixture, parsley, and mint. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.
  • Mix together until fully combined.
  • Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and with wet hands form each portion of lamb into a 1 ½" by 7" log. Press a skewer into the center of each lamb log and form the meat around the skewer until secure, leaving about a 4" handle on the bottom and a 1" handle on top.
  • Place large grill pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, brush with remaining oil and add skewers, about 1" apart. Grill skewers on each side, for 6 to 8 minutes or until just cooked through, with nice grill marks. Remove from heat, transfer to a platter
  • Serve with a bed of basmati rice and a romaine, cucumber and tomato side salad and hummus of choice. Serve.
