How to cook deliciously - Bob's Kabobs
1. Stage
Make the spice blend: Combine cumin, coriander, chile flakes, salt, cayenne, and cinnamon in a small bowl; mix well to combine. Set about 1/3 of the spice blend aside in a small bowl and mix with sumac.
2. Stage
Make the kabobs: Place remaining spice blend in a mixing bowl with ground lamb and cold water. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Place bamboo skewers in water to soak while the meat is chilling.
3. Stage
Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll into eight equal-sized meatballs using slightly damp hands. Skewer each meatball through the center and shape into an oval, about 3 inches long. Use your fingers to taper each end of the kabob down to a point where it meets the skewer. Place onto a plate and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes, or until ready to grill.
4. Stage
Make the yogurt sauce: Whisk Greek yogurt, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water together in a bowl until smooth and combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
5. Stage
Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
6. Stage
Remove kabobs from the refrigerator and sprinkle reserved spice blend over top.
7. Stage
Grill kabobs over charcoal, turning occasionally, until browned and firm, 10 to 12 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kabob should read at least 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Serve with yogurt sauce.
