Ingredients
1 pound 85% lean ground beef chuck
8 ounces ground lamb
1 large egg
0.33 cups fresh cilantro
0.25 cups onion
2 tablespoons harissa paste
, see Note
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.5 cups plain yogurt
1.5 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1.5 teaspoons fresh parsley
0.13 teaspoons salt
Instructions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat (350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C)).
2
Combine beef, lamb, egg, cilantro, onion, harissa, garlic, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, the cumin, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Be careful not to overmix, or meat will be tough. Shape mixture around 6 (10-inch) skewers, making the meat mixture 1-inch thick around the skewers.
3
Oil grill grates. Grill koftas, covered, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, stir yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Serve yogurt sauce with koftas.
