2 lbs. ground beef or lamb 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup chopped cilantro 2 Tbsp. Shawarma Seasoning 1 Tbsp. Onion & Garlic Tableside Sprinkle

1 Tbsp. Mayan Sea Salt

Directions

Step 1 Form kofta

Step 2 Submerge wooden skewers in water to soak. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. To a large bowl, add all ingredients except oil. Gently mix with clean or gloved hands just until mixture is homogenous. Form ½ cup of mixture at a time around each skewer into long, even logs. Set formed kofta on prepared sheet tray. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until ready to cook.

Step 3 Grill kofta

Step 4 Preheat grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Lightly brush kofta with oil to prevent sticking. Working in batches, grill kofta for 3 to 5 min. per side until browned and an internal temperature of 160 degrees is reached. Serve immediately with couscous, tzatziki, or pita.
