Moroccan Grilled Keftas (Ground meat on a skewer)

Post by Jean »

Moroccan Grilled Keftas (Ground meat on a skewer)

1 1/2 lb. ground lamb (pork is good sub)
1 medium onion quartered
3-4 fresh parsely sprigs
2-3 fresh cilantro sprigs
1-2 fresh mint sprigs
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp apple pie spice (I used pumpkin pie spice)
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste

Mint dressing (I didn't try)
2 tbsp chopped mint
6 tablespoons safe Mayo (NO gluten, dairy or soy)
In a food processor, add the onion, parsley, cilantro and mint and process until finely chopped. Add the lamb and ground spices and process again until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl and chill for about one hour.

Make the dressing by combining safe mayo and mint. Chill.

Mould the meat around skewers. Set gas grill on medium or wait until the flames die out on a charcoal grill. Grill for about 6 minutes or until brown and crisp on the outside. Serve with mint dressing.

Jean's notes: I don't have a food processor, so I chopped everything by hand. This is a pretty fast meal.
Be kind to everyone, because you never know what battles they are fighting.
