These lamb kofta kebabs offer a quick and intensely flavorful way to enjoy ground lamb, leveraging the global appeal of Middle Eastern street food. The kofta is mixed with fresh herbs, onion, and a bold mix of spices like cumin and chili flakes for a subtle heat. The shape ensures a perfect crust when grilled or baked, sealing in the moisture for a wonderfully juicy texture. They are incredibly versatile, served in a pita wrap, alongside rice, or with a cool yogurt dip, making them a popular choice for backyard BBQs or a satisfying weeknight meal. This is a medium difficulty recipe that produces restaurant-quality results.
