Method

Kofta Kabob

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, mint, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Kabobs

    Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around the skewers, forming elongated kabobs. Ensure they are evenly shaped and well-packed to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  4. 4

    Grill the Kabobs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Salad

  1. 7

    Prepare the Salad

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced cucumber, diced tomato, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
