Ingredients
Oven Roasted Tomatoes:
- 4 Roma tomatoes, quartered
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kefta Dog:
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 4 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 shallot, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground lamb
- Olive oil
Infused Greek Yogurt:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 packed tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon tahini paste
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
- 1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Special equipment:
6 wooden skewers
- For the tomatoes: Preheat an oven 325 degrees F. Toss the tomatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread them evenly in a roasting pan with a rack inside if possible (the rack helps allow the tomatoes to evaporate water). Let them roast for about 1 1/2 hours checking for hotspots in your oven (rotate the entire pan if needed).
- For the kefta dog: Preheat a grill pan. Combine the coriander, cumin, paprika, allspice, cayenne, garlic, shallots and some salt and pepper, and mix. Mix in the lamb in small pieces so the seasoning distributes evenly.
- Mold lamb into 5 1/2-inch-long hot dog shapes onto your skewers. Drizzle each with olive oil. Place on the grill pan, and cook on each side for about 4 minutes, for a total of 7 to 8 minutes.
- For the yogurt: Add yogurt, parsley, tahini, garlic powder, lemon zest and juice into a mixing bowl and incorporate well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the kefta dogs with the infused yogurt and roasted tomatoes.
