I often use Dry Mixed Herbs and Black Pepper to season ‘My Family’s Lamb Koftas’, but, of course, other Spices and Herbs can be used. Today I seasoned it in the middle eastern flavour (I believe it is) and tried to make it into Kebabs. I even purchased long and thick bamboo BBQ skewers for this dish. However, the skewers didn’t fit in my grill pan!!! I used bamboo chopsticks instead and they worked perfectly. By the way, these Kebabs were delicious.
