Mediterranean Lamb Kofta Kebabs with Tahini Sauce

April 18, 2018

Mediterranean Lamb Kofta Kebabs with Tahini Sauce
The flavors of our Eastern Mediterranean Spice -- cumin, dill, citrus and garlic -- pair perfectly with the earthiness of lamb in these kebabs. Tuck them into pita bread with herbs, veggies and sauce. When combined with olive oil, this blend also works wonders as a marinade for meat or vegetable kebabs.

Serves 4

Ingredients

 For kebabs:

1 lb ground lamb
1 egg
4 tablespoons Eastern Mediterranean Spice
1/2 white onion, grated
 
For tahini sauce:
 
1/2 cup tahini
juice of one lemon
salt
1 clove garlic, minced
water
 

Directions

Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. In a bowl, combine ground lamb, egg, spices and onion. Knead with hands until well combined and tacky. Form into about 10-12 balls. Refrigerate for about an hour. (This helps the lamb stay together on skewers.)
 
Skewer each ball, forming the meat into an oval or log shape with your hands around the skewer. Use one ball per skewer.
 
Grill: Heat the grill to high. Place the skewers on the grill. Use tongs to flip occasionally, grilling for about 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness.
 
Oven: Preheat oven to 350. Heat a skillet on medium-high. When hot, add about 1 tablespoon olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add kebabs to the pan. Brown for about 2 minutes per side. Then place kebabs on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 10-15 minutes until done.
 
Tahini sauce: Combine ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add water as needed to create a runnier sauce. 
Serve kebabs with tahini sauce, sliced red onion, tomatoes and pita bread or lavash.
