Beef and Lamb Koftas with Mustard

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 10 oz. ground lamb
  • 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup minced red onion
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp. plus 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • Coarse-grain mustard, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the beef and lamb with the bread crumbs, red onion, parsley, salt, cumin, thyme, and pepper. Using your hands, mix until evenly combined. Divide the meat mixture into 20 pieces, roll each into a ball, and flatten each slightly into a 3?4-inch-thick patty.
  2. Light a grill or heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high. Place the patties on the grill and cook, flipping once, until browned and cooked to medium, about 10 minutes. Serve the grilled kofta while hot with the mustard.
