How to Make Tsiren Dakakken Nama Nigerian Kofta
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients with a fork until well combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 5cm (2-inch) long sausage, squeezing firmly to compact the meat.
- Soak 4 kebab skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the kofta sausages onto the skewers, ensuring they are firmly attached.
- Brush the kebabs generously with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for 7-10 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked through and nicely charred.
- Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately with your favorite salad or tomato rice with chili sauce.
