Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Dice the red onion in to a small dice. Rinse the cucumber and finely dice. Rinse and roughly chop the dill, parsley, and garlic. Halve the lemon and zest one half. Soak the skewers in water for 5-10 minutes to avoid them from charring on the grill.

  2. 2

    Make the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, juice of the lemon, and a pinch of salt. Mix together to incorporate. Add a pinch of lemon zest if you desire extra freshness. Freshly ground pepper to taste also works beautifully with this sauce. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Kofta Mixture

    Place the lamb, diced onion, chopped parsley (reserving some for garnish), seasoning blend, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix together with hands or a spatula to incorporate.

  4. 4

    Form the Kabobs

    Preheat the grill over medium to high heat, or if using an indoor grill, turn on. Divide the lamb mixture into 4 pieces and mold each piece around a skewer into a long sausage shape. The kebobs don't need to be perfectly formed - unique shapes are part of this dish's rustic charm.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kabobs

    Brush each kofta with a small amount of olive oil. Add the koftas to the grill and cook on each side for 5-6 minutes. If using an indoor grill pan (on the stove), grilling may take an addition 5-6 minutes to ensure doneness. Koftas should be browned, firm, and sizzling hot. When koftas are done cooking heat the naan bread on the grill until warm and crispy.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Place two kofta skewers in the middle of the plate on an angle. Accompany with a piece of naan flatbread and a small dish of Tatziki for dipping. Garnish with remaining parsley, dill, and lemon zest, if desired.
