Ground Antelope Kofta with Yogurt Sauce
Description
Ground Antelope Kofta with Yogurt Sauce features ground antelope blended with minced garlic, grated onion, chopped parsley, and a blend of spices including coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cayenne, and black pepper. After combining, the mixture is shaped around skewers and refrigerated to help them set. Grilled until cooked through, these kofta develop a flavorful crust while retaining moisture inside. The yogurt dipping sauce is made from plain yogurt, fresh mint, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, honey, and seasoning, which is chilled to let the flavors meld. Together, the kofta and sauce provide a balance of warm spices and refreshing acidity.
Serve the kofta with warm flatbread to help scoop the meat and sauce. This combination works well for an outdoor grill meal or a casual dinner where guests can assemble their own wraps or plates. The yogurt sauce enhances the smoky, spiced flavor of the grilled meat, making it a flavorful yet approachable dish.
Ingredients

- 1 lb ground antelope
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt

- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped
- ¾ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
- Mash salt with minced garlic in mortar and pestle.
