Kefta

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Kefta Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, ground cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2

Shape the Kefta

Wet your hands and take a portion of the mixture to form into oval-shaped patties or skewers.

3

Cook the Kefta

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the kefta for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

4

Serve

Serve the kefta with basmati rice and your choice of house-made tzatziki or zhoug.
