Fragrant Persian Lamb and Herb Kofta Skewers

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, grated onion, ground cumin, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Divide the lamb mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion around a skewer, forming an elongated oval or sausage shape, about 4-5 inches long.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat a grill to medium-high.

Place the kofta skewers in the hot skillet or on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).

Remove the cooked kofta skewers from the skillet or grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
