Kafta Kabob (Paleo)

By Lauren_Jorgensen

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lb ground lamb (I used half lamb / half beef)
• 1/2 cup onion, minced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp mint leaves, chopped
• 1 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 2 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp coriander seeds (or 1 tsp ground coriander)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Preparation

Step 1

Soak 24 bamboo skewers in water for at least 6 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Combine the ground beef with the onion, garlic, salt, herbs and spices in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands to distribute the ingredients.
Shape the meat into sausage-sized cylinders around two skewers (about ⅓ cup meat per skewer). Place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meat is cooked through but not overdone. You could also grill the skewers.
Serve with lemon herb sauce or Paleo cucumber mint raita for dipping
