Kofta Meshweya – Tender ground lamb kebabs with a hint of Middle Eastern spices

Ingredients

1 slice of white bread, crusts removed and torn into small pieces

3 tbsp milk

450g ground lamb

5 sprigs of cilantro, leaves finely chopped

5 sprigs of flat leaf parsley, leaves finely chopped

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 garlic clove, crushed

½ tsp pepper powder

1 yellow bell pepper cut into square pieces.

10 cherry tomatoes

10 olives for decorating

Oil

Salt to taste

Method: Place the wooden skewers in hot water and let soak. Soak the bread in milk for 5 minutes. Place the ground lamb, cilantro, parsley, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper powder in a bowl. Squeeze milk from the bread and add the bread to the bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands. Discard the remaining milk. With wet hands, roll 2 tablespoons of the mixture into round balls, then add a bell pepper piece, and finally a cherry tomato. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make the koftas followed by bell pepper and cherry tomato. Carefully secure 2-3 kofas in each skewer. Preheat the broiler to high temperature. Line the grill pan with foil and lightly brush the grill rack with oil. Place the koftas on the rack and broil, turning frequently, until the koftas are all well done. Decorate the platter with olives.

Happy Cooking!
