Preparation

• 1.

  In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

• 2.

  Form the mixture into elongated meatballs (about 2-3 inches long) and place on a tray.

• 3.

  Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kofta to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

• 4.

  While the kofta is cooking, prepare the garlic yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

• 5.

  Once the kofta is cooked, serve them hot with the garlic yogurt sauce, and enjoy with pita bread or rice.
