Losh Kebab

This is a recipe for Losh Kebab, which is ground lamb mixed with spices then grilled (or broiled). It is typically served with pilaf, salad and warm pita bread.

Whenever we come home, this is on the menu for dinner at least one night (like tonight). One of Andrea's favorite dishes of "Eddie's people" :)

Ingredients
- 2 lbs minced lamb
- 1 onion chopped fine
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt pepper
- 2 table spoons garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped parsely
- 2 table spoons tomato paste
- .5 oz Sadaf ground kabob seasoning with water

Mix above ingredients very well (10 mins). Form into balls then shape into bullets as pictured and let set for a few hours in fridge. Remove from fridge 30 mins prior to grilling. Heat grill (or broiler) to full potential, grill over open flame for 5 mins per side to sear. Do not turn until you are confident there is a good sear on the meat, otherwise the kebab will fall apart.

Cook eaqually on each side, then close grill and continue cooking to desired done-ness (10 mins approximately). Lower the heat if necessary.

Remove from heat, let rest then serve with accompanying sauce.

Sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 cucumber grated
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 of a small tub sour cream
- 8 oz Greek plain yogurt
- Sprinkle of cayenne pepper on top

Mix and let sit in fridge. Also works well with chicken and fish.
