Kafta Kabab Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kafta Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef or lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kababs

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a long, oval patty or skewer shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kababs

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan or on a grill over medium heat. Cook the kafta kababs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Warm the pita or flatbreads. Place cooked kafta kababs inside each bread and top with hummus, sliced onions, chopped parsley, sumac, diced tomatoes, and pickles.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm with extra hummus on the side if desired.
