Ingredients

• Kabobs:
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 cup seedless cucumber, squeezed dry and grated
• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tsp fresh oregano, chopped

• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp tomato paste
• 14-16 bamboo skewers

Preparation

Step 1

1.To make the sauce, add all the ingredients (except the cucumber) to a food processor and mix until combined. Add the cucumber and pulse until just combined. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
*To save time and enhance flavor, make the sauce a day ahead of time.
2.To prepare the kabobs, preheat the oven to 350°F. Add the ingredients to a medium-size bowl and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into 14-16 small logs, about 2'' long and 1'' wide. Insert a skewer into the narrow end of each log and place the logs onto a nonstick baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve with the Tzatziki Sauce.
