Lamb and Rosemary Koftas

This is a simple, easy to prepare dinner with lots of flavor. Seasoned ground lamb is wrapped around fresh rosemary twigs and grilled. The flavor of the rosemary infuses into the meat creating an amazing flavor profile. Serve this with taziki sauce, pita bread and sliced cucumbers. This recipe is adapted from from Gillian's Kitchen. A kofta is a type of Middle Eastern  spiced meatball, often made with lamb and served on small wood skewers.
