Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Lamb
  • 4 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Mint, chopped
  • 1 Jalapeno, finely minced (optional)
  • 1/4 White Onion, chopped
  • 6 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Freshly Ground pepper

Garnish

  • 2 tsp Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb with the chopped herbs, garlic, and seasonings. Mix well to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large cast-iron (preferably), or parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a small scoop, take about 2 tablespoons of the lamb mixture, using your hands form it into a ball, and place them onto the cast iron. You should have about 18-20 meatballs.
  • Place the cast iron into the oven and bake the kofta for 15-20 minutes (or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F), turning them half-way through to ensure even cooking.
  • Remove from the oven. Top with Fresh Parsley and serve!
