Step 1 Begin by finely chopping the parsley leaves, discarding the stems and very finely dicing the onion. Set aside. Step 2 In a large mixing bowl place the lamb mince, onion, parsley, salt and spices. Step 3 Using your hands, kneading the ingredients into the meat, until everything is well combined. Step 4 Fill a small bowl with cold water to wet your hands in. Take a small ball of meat, about 50g and press the skewer into the ball. Mould the meat along the skewer until it stretches 15cm and is about 2cm in diameter. Wet your hand as needed to stop the meat sticking to your hands. Place the skewers on a tray and if you need to add a row of cling wrap between each layer to stop them from sticking. Step 5 Heat a cast iron pan or fire up the BBQ, add the olive oil and begin to cook the kafta in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side. Step 6 Transfer to a serving platter with lemon wedges and serve whilst still hot.
