Directions:
- Pulse the bread until you have finely ground breadcrumbs.
- In a large bowl combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, mint, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, sumac, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Mix in the ground lamb meat with your hands but DO NOT overmix!
- Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. (If the lamb meat is well chilled, you can skip this step.).
- Shape the lamb meat mixture into 18 meatballs (koftes), about the size of a small egg.
- GRILLING: You will need 6 bamboo skewers. (Soak the skewers first in hot water for 15 minutes.) Arrange 3 kofte on each bamboo skewer. Grill over hot coals until meat is no longer pink in the center and kofte are brown on all sides.
- STOVE TOP: Heat up about 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or olive oil on medium-high heat and fry the kofte until no longer pink in the center, turning occasionally to brown evenly. Set aside to drain on paper towel lined platter.
- OVEN: Arrange the kofte onto parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25-30 minutes or until no longer pink in the center.
- Serve hot with pita bread and yogurt dip.
- NOTE: The uncooked meat mixture freezes well.
