Equipment

  • Strainer
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Two small bowls
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Ingredients

Raïta-Style Sauce:

  • 1 seedless English cucumber, grated
  • 2 cups 2% yogurt
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced

Mini-Brochettes:

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp ground coriander seeds
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1.5 lbs Little Potatoes
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground lamb

Instructions

  • Make the Raïta Sauce:

    Place grated cucumber in a strainer and press the water out. Mix cucumbers with all the rest of raita sauce ingredients. Put aside in the refrigerator (you can make the sauce up to one day in advance).

  • Make the Brochettes:

    Preheat grill to high temperature.

  • Step 3

    Put Little Potatoes in a microwave safe bowl, cook for four minutes on high. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    In a small bowl, mix cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Divide this mix by adding one tablespoon of spices and one tablespoon of olive oil in the cooked potatoes.

  • Step 5

    In a different bowl, put the rest of the spices with the ground lamb meat, and mix well. Form meat into little balls, approximately the same size of the potatoes. Put aside.

  • Step 6

    Assemble the brochettes, by alternating two meat balls, and two potatoes per skewer.

  • Step 7

    Cook brochettes on preheated grill for three minutes on each side (lower temperature when cooking).

  • Step 8

    Serve with the raita sauce as a delicious appetizer!
