For the kefta dog: Preheat a grill pan.
6
Combine the coriander, cumin, paprika, allspice, cayenne, garlic, shallots and some salt and pepper, and mix.

Mix in the lamb in small pieces so the seasoning distributes evenly.
8
Mold lamb into 5 1/2-inch-long hot dog shapes onto your skewers.
9
Drizzle each with olive oil.
10
Place on the grill pan, and cook on each side for about 4 minutes, for a total of 7 to 8 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.
