Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Mixture

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

2

Form the Skewers

Divide the lamb mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around the skewers, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

4

Grill the Kafta

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

5

Serve

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as pita bread, salad, or tahini sauce.
