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 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 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 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 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 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.
