Daou Vineyards Lamb Kofta

This weekend we are going to Paso Robles for a wine tasting at Daou Vineyards, but before we go, we are attending the (virtual) Daou Family Estate Soiree. Daou sent us a wonderful box full of goodies, so we can safely celebrate from home. Two of the items were a booklet with family recipes and kofta seasoning mix. I've shared the kofta recipe with you below. The seasoning was included in our box but I included a quick spice combo for you to use in your home. Cheers!
