Kafta Kebab Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb with the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kebabs

    Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around a skewer, pressing it firmly to ensure it adheres. Each kebab should be about 2 inches thick.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are nicely browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, pita bread, and salad.
