Grilled Moroccan Venison Kofta Skewers
The Story
These North African–style venison kofta skewers are built to show just how good venison can be when it’s treated right. Lean ground venison is mixed with fresh herbs, warm spices, and a touch of harissa, then shaped onto skewers and grilled hot and fast for deep browning and a juicy interior.
Venison shines in this style of cooking. The cumin, paprika, ginger, and turmeric bring warmth without overpowering the meat, while grated onion and fresh parsley and cilantro keep everything tender and balanced. Brushing the skewers with ghee or butter as they cook adds richness and helps carry the spices through every bite, which is especially important with lean game meats.
These kofta are meant to be eaten fresh off the grill. Tucked into warm pita with sliced onions, tomatoes, and a bold sauce on the side. You can also serve them with rice or salad, but they really excel as a wrap. This is a fast, fire-driven way to cook venison that delivers big flavor without masking what makes the meat special.
